I know...where do people get the idea they bark all night long???? Also, the one neighbor tried to use the defense that LGD's need at least 100 acres on her complaint, like i was being cruel to have them on our small acreage. Dear L*rd! Where do people get these ideas from?!
I live sandwiched in between 3 yappers, and believe me, its ANNOYING to say the least.....and our LGD's have a deep bark, which doesn't bother anyone. I can't tolerate the high pitched barking of our neighbors dogs at all. It is piercing and we can no longer enjoy our porches as you can't hear yourself think, much less relax and visit with anyone.
