I can't imagine all the German Shepherds living in souther Florida! I suppose Kenya will have to adjust if we move south.
I see them doing it everyday, and I still don't know how they do it, or any of the outdoor dogs down here. A Neighbor across the canal from me has an all outdoor black German Shepherd and a Jack Russel. I feel so sorry for the poor things outside all day, and bored witless. Half the time they see me and Kirby out in the yard the German barks like crazy. It's especially annoying at times because the way our property is set up on hills to protect from flooding, the dogs can see right up to the back of our house and often bark when they see the light flipped on when I pee Kirby at night. Thankfully Kirby just ignores them. What I can't figure out though is they also apparently have like a pack of 4-6 other ankle biter size dogs, and another German Shepherd that they keep indoors. I guess the unlucky German Shepherd and Jack Russel didn't make the grade to be worthy of living indoors with the rest of the family. =(
I feel so sorry for so many of the dogs in our neighborhood. Because everyone has at least an acre, a lot of people seem to think the perfect thing for their big yard is some unlucky big dog to sit and pant in it. My neighbors have a Shiba Inu and an English Bull dog that are kept as outside dogs. Yes, you heard me, an English Bulldog with it's delicate skin and short muzzle out in hot South Florida heat. Worst thing I found out from another neighbor is the only reason they got them was to breed them for money, which they already did. I wasn't happy about the fact that the bred the poor things, but to learn that was the only real motivation behind getting the dogs is just sickening, especially considering the fact that poor bulldog had to have a C-section to give them those pups. Then they repay the dogs by leaving them to rot in the backyard.
