We are moving into a new home it's considered rural;it's really only about a 10 minute drive to Mandeville. We don't want to fence whole yard.We need a fence for the dogs.Mixed lab about 85lbs and a mix about 65lbs.We are thinking 3 or 2 sides picket fence seen from road and chain link on inside so dogs can see out and we can see them too.Thank-you in advance for your suggestions.Tony
