Yes, I would deny you the option.  As has been said time and time  again, 
even IF an invisible fence keeps your dogs IN, it doesn't keep other  things 
OUT. 
 I get too many calls Jess with crying owners on the phone  looking for a new 
puppy where a dog has gotten out, power went out  or something else got in 
for me to bend on this one.
 
And you ask "I also know of many dogs who live in a fenced in yard and get  
NO attention and NO training. Is that any better?"  Of course not.  It  isn't 
an "either-or" situation, so no need to throw something unrelated into the  
discussion.
 
For me it's all about finding the BEST home and NEITHER an invisible fence  
OR a dog outside in a yard all day w/ no attention qualifies.
 
I haven't had a litter in 2+ years.  I have a waiting list of  qualified 
homes. My definition of "qualified" may not be everyone's (not  that I'll lose 
sleep),  but I don't have to compromise.
 
And just to clarify, I'm talking about electric fence buried under the  
ground.  An actual fence that is electrified to keep (bad, lol!) dogs from  
trying 
to go over or under, I don't have a problem with.

 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...
