Six dogs, 1.5 acres fenced in with trees, squirrels, hills and digging dens into the hillside. *grin* (they also like to fence run - I have a 50x75 foot inside fence within the huge yard - one or two go on the inside and the others fence run on the outside back and forth until they are exhausted or I call them in - I usually have to call them in *wink*) And winter they actually get more workout as they run through the deep snow!
