Oh, and it wouldn't matter one iota that your dogs get conditioned almost every evening ( weather permitting ), get titles and are perfect family dogs. Colleen Donnelly Hunde Haus ~ My Blog! We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.~ Elie Wiesel ________________________________ From: Jessica MacMillan <spotted101@xxxxxxxxxxx> So I have a question about Invisible Fencing. I grew up in the sport of dogs, have always had 5 or more dogs and have had client dogs. I now have three acres with an acre and a half with Invisible Fencing and I have two GSDs that live behind it. One has multiple titles and the other is a youngster. If I enquired about buying a dog from you - you would deny me the option of purchasing a puppy because my dogs live behind an Invisible Fence even though my dogs are housedogs, get conditioned almost every evening (weather permitting), get titles and are perfect family dogs? I don't agree with the letter that the gentleman wrote, but I do somewhat disagree with a blanket statement of NO Ivisible Fences.. I also know of many, many dals who live behind invisible fences and they are just as tough, just as prey driven and just as stubborn as some dals. I think it is time to evaluate the situation and the people before the fence... I also know of many dogs who live in a fenced in yard and get NO attention and NO training. Is that any better? BTW: Remember, there is the storebought invisible fence and the INVISIBLE FENCE.... Be careful which one you describe. JMHO... JessM.
