I actually got my back yard landscaped before I got Dolly. It has colored rocks and only plants along the walls.just one plant a little to the side of center that is even in the middle of the yard. Dolly and Desi love to be out there and they can really run fast on those rocks and have no problem with it. Grass maybe a bit difficult to maintain with all those dogs pottying out there. But, I want to add that Dolly & Desi have the entire back yard - maybe 20 feet deep and 50 feet wide - and then the side yards that are probably another 50 feet by 6 feet. I extended the concrete from the covered patio in a semi-circle and I put the cot bed and other little dog bolster mats out there and they love to lay in the sun.and they also lay on the patio chairs. You need to make sure that you have some sort of a shaded area for them. The size won't be such a huge thing and unless you have a lot of plants in the way, they will run and play and they can have as little or as much room as you would like to give them. I would just think about your part in having to maintain a huge grassy area for them. If you don't have a covered patio, then perhaps a small exercise pen which you could leave closed except for one side to be open for them to go to lay down and drink when they want to. That is my opinion.you won't hurt my feelings if you think it won't work. Good luck, Judy.

I will soon be designing a yard for my dogs (all under 20 lbs down to 3 lbs.) I thinking of a board or vinyl fence 5 ft high with another foot of wicker on top. I'm not afraid of them jumping over it, but of big dogs coming over it. If I have big dogs nearby I will put a hot wire on top of the wicker and another down a foot or so. The yard itself should be maybe 40 feet by 40 feet. What do you think? (I have 8 dogs). Because I sometimes take in deaf or blind dogs I don't want much in the yard. Maybe one tree? My dogs spend 99% of their time in the house. What would you add or take away? Is it too large or too small? I want grass. Most of the play houses I have seen for dogs have too my places the dogs could catch and break a leg in or even strangle. (Okay, okay. So I am a worry wort.) That's why I want help with this. I think I would put them all in a padded room if I could. Judy Moon, a prayer warrior for Christ "May grace and spiritual peace be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ."
