RE: [pyrnet] Fence height for pyrs

Kelly;
Last fall I fenced in 7 acres of land which surround the house, so Czar and
Raisa can run free when we are at home.  The fence is a 4' high farm fence
with cedar posts every 12 feet.  Neither dog has ever attempted to jump the
fence whatsoever.  However, Czar does stand up and hang his big old Pyr Paws
over the front gate and it looks hilarious!

I only worry about them digging UNDER the fence to get out, which they have
tried to do on a couple of occassions, but have been unsuccessfull because
they are both so darn big....
So, a 4' high fence works great for us!
Good luck!

Subject: [pyrnet] Fence height for pyrs


Hi Everyone,
Now that we finally have a house and yard, I am
working on fencing it in. I am trying to determine how
high a fence I actually need, as the yard is not
typical. It is small and most of it is actually on the
side of the house as opposed to in the back. The house
is also kind of close to the street(a very quiet one,
thank goodness) and I am trying to avoid it looking
like a prison. Therefore, I am trying to go with the
lowest possible height that will also keep pyrs in. I
was wondering if anyone can help me out. Mandy is an
average height female (about 27"), but I plan to add
another pyr to our family within the next year and I'd
like to get a male. I also will not be leaving the
dogs out when I am not home. My question comes down to
this- Is a 4 foot fence high enough? I know there is
no way Mandy is going over a 4 foot fence. Or do I
need to go to 4 1/2 or 5 feet? Has anyone had fences
of these heights with pyrs that can give me some
advice? 
Thanks so much for any help on this one,
Kelly & Mandy (pyr)
