I don't get THAT... When I lived in Phoenix (no limits, yippee!) my friend and I had about 30 Shelties, a couple of Collies and my two GSDs, on 3/4 of an acre IN THE CITY. You could have asked every single one of our neighbors and to a one of them they would have had nothing but good things to say. Even the guy behind us whose pit bull kept getting in our back yard. The AR nuts opinions notwithstanding (our Shelties and Collies were debarked, and they didn't like us doing that) our dogs were very well cared for and very happy. All the number of dogs meant was a bit more work.
