Putting a Fence in for Brody

So I've never been so confused before in my life! I am putting in a fence for Brody on our property, but I don't know if I should go with a white PVC picket fence or should I go with a Black Aluminum fence? It will be 4' high, so that's not a problem.. It's a matter of deciding! Both would look good with our home, and we do have a country theme on the inside as well as rouht-iron.. I just don't know!

Do you get deer in your garden? A 4 foot fence won't keep them out.

Although we have deer in the area, I've never seen one on our property. Do you think a 4 ft. fence is high enough to keep Brody in?

I think it would certainly keep my dogs in. They are big mediums. how big will Brody get. I doubt he could jumpover 4 ft. Is the fence that high at it's lower points?

Brody will be a large. I think he'll be about 24" at the shoulder. He's 20" now at 8 months. I should hope that he wouldn't jump over the fence, but we've seen him jump down a flight of stairs!

I don't know what he could jump if he got a running start. You might want to ask in a discussion on the main page mentioning his size so people with big doodles could respond. Also, I know it's impossible, but try to keep jumping down stairs and things like that to a minimum. The breeders worry about open growth plates in their bones.

There's one at the duck pond in Rdgewood and I just saw one the other day in the park I ended up in--a county park, maybe Woodale? I haven't been to Ridgewood often. The dog parks have some issues. I haven't had a problem with aggressive dogs but the last time i took Luca to Ridgewood a woman brought a sick dog. When I realized that I left.
