Do your neighbours have dogs? If so, what?

[meepitsmeagan]

Have quite a few neighbors, unfortunately, but none that I know of that have dogs. We have a lady who walks a Dobe down our street sometimes... but I have no idea where she lives. I've heard a dog barking in the neighbor's to the far right, but have never seen one, so there's that. Lol.

We live next to an old kennel and training place, though! And also have a pet cemetery in our front yard.

I'm moving next week, so I'm not sure how many dogs are in my neighbourhood yet, but I do know my immediate neighbours do not have dogs.

However, there's a decent fenced dog park about 5 minutes away, and a dog beach is pretty close too, so I'm guessing I'll meet a number of new dogs

 

[Saeleofu]

Neighbor on one side has a Shiba mix and two chihuahuas. They can be a bit barky at times and have typical big-dog-stuck-in-a-small-body attitudes, but they're ncie enough. I'm particularly fond of the Shiba mix. Neighbor in back has a boxer, LOVELY dog. Big, much bigger than Gavroche, but they're so similar. He has a kid he keeps a very close eye on. Wonderful dog. The neighbors on the other side have pit bulls they BYB. The bitch is very sweet, but he has no business breeding (I know he breeds and I know he can't afford it because he comes to my clinic and can never pay his bill). He also leaves the dogs out all day and sometimes all night, and they get barky sometimes. Not too awful, though. Across the street is a lab BYB, and they bark ALL. THE. TIME. Down the street a ways is a pair of shih tzu mixes. One is very wary of people, the other is an attention *****. I know this because they're loose several times a week, and I've caught the nice one one and HOLY CRAP he gives ALL THE KISSES and wags and wiggles like mad. Very, very nice dog, just not the brightest owners. There are a few other dogs on my block, but not ones I see regularly. I know names for all the dogs that our yard touches - so the boxer, the pit, the chis, and the shiba mix.

 

[SevenSins]

Strangely most of the current neighbors on my street don't seem to have dogs, even though a few years ago most did. The only ones I know of are a pair of Boxers at one house, and what look to probably be a couple Pit Bulls at another but they're fairly new neighbors and I've honestly only seen glimpses of their dogs.

 

[Dizzy]

No direct neighbours as such.

Opposite they own a fat Springer.

In the village there are a couple of collies, I've seen a lab, a Leonberger, a Rhodesian, a couple of scruffy terriers.

Think that's about it. Lots of working collies/Welsh collies pass through in the back of trucks as this is sheep land.

We rarely encounter these other dogs.

 

[~Dixie's_Mom~]

Our next door neighbors have a Maltese and a Weim. They are both really cute but the Weim is always trying to kill the dogs through the fence. (It's a provacy fence so they can't get at each other.) Chloe goes back at him, and Violet just runs up and down the fence without so much as a sound and teases him. Lol! His name is Ben, and I can't remember the other ones name. It's a girl though.

Our neighbors two doors down on the other side have a Maltese named Precious and she is SO precious!

I've seen one neighbors lab, and another neighbors has a gsd mix that was out on their roof one day! !!! It had gotten out of their upper story window and was just up there barking at people! I had a picture but I don't have it on my phone. They got him back in and he was fine.

I've seen a papillon being walked, a corgi, and a pointer mix. But I don't know where they live.

 

[Maxy24]

Tucker's best friend Zelda the pit bull/lab mix lives next door (Well Tucker thinks they're best friends, Zelda has little interest in him beyond a casual sniff, then she wants ME). She's the best, reminds me of my last dog Max sooooo much.

The people behind us have a Golden Retriever named Ginger. She's very sweet, but they let her out loose all the time and it drives me nuts because Tucker flips out through the window and I don't want to see their dog dead in the road, so I always bring her back. It was worse when she was younger (and the kids were younger and left gates/doors open), it's less frequent, especially in the winter. I dog sit for her quite a bit.

Diagonally across thew road there is a mixed breed named Brady, can't pin down a breed, but he's a medium sized dog, shepherd colors. He's as human aggressive as Tucker but without the warnings and dog aggressive as well. I don't have a problem with him, she keeps him well contained, but he did bite my uncle on the shoulder. The owner won't admit his aggression so let's people "try" to pet him or let's him "try" to meet dogs and then there are issues.

The people next to us have a Yorkie named Cesar. He sometimes barks when left out, but it's not a terribly load bark. There have been a few times when it's bothered us, but not often. The owners are nuts though.

That's it for close neighbors, I could go around the entire neighborhood though lol.

 

[milos_mommy]

A few of my neighbors have dogs, but they're never walked and I rarely see them except to hear them barking behind privacy fences.

The people behind us have a German Shepherd X Husky, Milo ADORED her as a puppy. He kind of still does, but he's not allowed to go over and play after he growled at Layla's owners (He was never actually invited over in the first place, he just helped himself by digging underneath our buried cinderblocks that were supposed to keep him from digging after he went THROUGH the wooden fence and we replaced it with a plastic one.

 

[MandyPug]

My immediate neighbours have a yappy little "southern Alberta special" (bichon/shihtzu mix) and there's a bulldog type dog down the road that's run at izzie on our walks. Then a couple random other southern Alberta specials and a min pin, three jrts and a couple chihuahuas. Then down the other road is an Aussie, a Berner, a couple labs and another pug.

It's always changing though as there's a lot of students.

 

[Cali Mae]

The woman across the road has a shih-tzu... very friendly and is well-taken care of. We've met up a few times on walks and Cali has always enjoyed saying hi.

There's really only a few dogs in our neighborhood who actually get decent care... most are chained up or in an outside kennel 24/7, as sad as it is. Or they're left to their own and sometimes go on a walk around the neighborhood, without anyone watching them.

 

[*blackrose]

At my parents house:
Neighbors to the left have a Min Pin and a Westie.
Neighbors in front have a Labrador and a Boxer.
Neighbors behind us have a Golden and two Golden mixes.
All neighbors to the right have, as follows:
3 ACD/Aussie mixes
1 Boxer/ACD mix + 1 Chow/Lab mix
1 Chow/Spaniel/Lab mix thing
1 Pembroke Corgi

Those are just the "immediate" neighbors. We have quite a few other doggies in the neighborhood.

At the apartment, no immediate neighbors, so to speak, have dogs. But there is:
A Lab mix
An Aussie mix
A Dobe, Coonhound, and GSD mix
Two Shelties
and I think the landlord has a GSP, a Pittie, and a Chihuahua.

 

[Laurelin]

Oh and as far as the rest of the neighbors I see.

There's a couple pit bulls. The house across from us seems to have 2 mini schnauzers and I sometimes see a pit bull too? I don't think they belong to the same people though so maybe the pit lives in one half and the schnauzers in the other?

One of my neighbors has 3 bassett hounds, which is kind of unusual for around here. They are walking them all the time.

A young chocolate labradoodle down the road.

JRT down the road.

Several labs/labramutts.

 

[JustaLilBitaLuck]

The people directly next door have two American Bulldogs and a black Labrador. Not well taken care of at all.

The people next to them (two houses down) have a Chihuahua and a large fluffy black dog - looks almost like a Flatcoat, but it's most likely a mix.

One set of neighbors across the street have a black Labrador, and another set have a Sheltie. Someone down the street has a houndy mix - I'm not sure where they leave but I see her walking the dog every day.

 

[JacksonsMom]

Well, over at my dads house, most of the dogs are free roam. It's technically a neighborhood but it's pretty 'country'. So I know most of the dogs pretty well.

There's a bulldog, Lola, SWEETHEART. OMG, love her. Except for she won't go away. She loves us so much that she will just sleep on our porch which makes our dogs nuts if they see her through the window. She's so laid back though, our dogs can be growling and freaking out and she acts like they're not even there.

Zoey the Golden Retriever. Sweetheart. She's awesome because she comes by to visit and say a quick hello, get a treat and then goes back home, haha. She took a while to warm up to us though. About 2 years after we moved in. She used to only like the kids. They also have a small poodle ish dog named Twix. He's always so dirty and gross looking, lol, poor little fella.

Then there's the annoying Labs who are terrible, the owners let them out all the time, and they're obnoxious. Titan attacked Jackson once which was scary. Also gave my brother a black eye. We've called AC on them before. So they can't even control this dog and they got another Lab puppy, Dixie. Ugh. They also have a little small poodle dog, Chloe. She doesn't ever bother us.

The only neighbors who are responsible with their dogs live in front of us and they have a Black Lab, Lucy, and a Pit Mix, Pal. They take them out on a leash.

We're the only people on the street that have our dogs inside a fence, lol.

 

[Gypsydals]

A lab mix to the house south of me. A big chi to the west. And a smaller one directly to the north. The lady on the corner has I "think" a rat terrier. I only ever see it when she brings it out to potty. To the east of me, I'm not entirely sure what they have. The one quick glance I got at them, I would say a lab mix and a shepherd mix. Not the friendliest dogs in the world.

 

[Kyllobernese]

Where I live is pretty rural. My next door neighbor has a Jack Russel and no fence except the one between our two places but as his dog is never off-lead and he walks him every day, it is no problem. My horse pen is between him and I so my dogs do not go down to his fence. It is green space behind me so nobody can build there and the people on the other side do not have a dog.

There is one dog just up the road that is chained all the time and barks a lot especially every time I go down to my gate and the people just down the road have a Boxer that is outside but they have a well fenced yard. It barks every time someone walks down the road but that is the only time. The people opposite used to have a Border Collie x Pit but they have moved and the place is for sale but still empty 8 months later.

The only other dog nearby is an old Pom cross and it is hardly ever outside. There are other dogs that do bark a lot but they are far enough away that it is not too annoying. I hate barking dogs so my dogs are not allowed to just bark for nothing.

 

[Red Chrome]

My neighbors to one side are my parents, they have a Rottie, a GSD/MastiffX and 2 Boxers. On the other side of them is a sweet LabX.

On the other side of me is 3 Pit Bulls who really aren't a problem most of the time. But the dogs on the other side of them were, they roamed and fought with others they were a GSD X Akita and a Border Collie and some sort of nasty lab mix. all that's left is the GSD XAkita since the Sheriff deemed the other 2 dangerous.

 

[Whitewave]

Neighbors on one side have 2 Mini Dachshunds. They bite Casper and bark a lot, but otherwise don't really bother me. If Casper didn't want them to bite him, I guess he would avoid sticking his nose through the fence. Since he does it continuously and has for years, I figure he likes it!

Neighbors on the otherside thank God they no longer have any dogs. They didn't have any when I first moved in and then they got 2. Sassy a little APBT and LJ a Redbone coonhound. Sassy was a game as they come, kill another dog w/o batting an eye. But god was she was a lover of people and you couldn't help but love her. LJ was a good ol' dog and was pretty easy going unless he could smell a bitch in heat. Fathered a good many of puppies. Of course they had to keep some of them. And then get more dogs and more dogs. Left them in the backyard 24/7 with improper shelter, feed bottom of the barrel food, no vet care, no flea prevention. Used them for hog hunting. Sassy could be around other dogs to a point while hunting as long she was let loose with a hog in site, but idiot kept leaving her loose with the other dogs in the yard and it wasn't always a pretty picture.

Dogs died, dogs got lost in the woods, new dogs came, new dogs left, animal control took some, got some back out. It was a never ending cycle. Dogs constantly dug into my yard b/c they wanted to be where they got attention and food and water, toys, etc. Had some really nice dogs. Sassy was sold and then got her back 2 yrs later only to have someone steal her while hunting. Finally got down to just LJ and the last 6 months or so of his life, he lived with me more than them. He had heart failure due to heavy heartworm load and they wouldn't take him to the vet so I ended up with him. Not much to do except give him meds to make him more comfortable. Good food, soft place to lie down. My dogs all loved him so he when it was cold, he was at my house, when it was hot he was at my house. They couldn't get him to eat, but he would come over and eat no problem for me. He was lonely being by himself in the backyard and enjoyed the company of my dogs. Only thing i was grateful for was they found him dead and not me.

 

[Snark]

We're rural - the neighbor southeast of us have Goldens, rarely see them running loose, they stay on their property. Neighbors north of us have mixes but they're usually contained or chained (the neighbor behind them is well known for poisoning any dog that wanders onto his property). Folks further down the road have a couple of black labs, they tend to stay on their property, too.

The idiots directly east of us (set back behind another neighbor) have a bird dog mix, a bulldog and some sort of JRT mix. Rarely see the JRT mix, but the stupid bird dog mix and bulldog like to chase their owners' car (and any other car they see) and then come over to my place and fence fight with my dogs.

Heard screams one morning and ran out to find my dogs had made a big enough hole in the fence to get their heads through and Murphy had hold of the bird dog's neck and was trying to pull him into the yard. Mick was attached to the dog's shoulder. It took Sis and I to get the dogs to let go of the bird dog and he ran home. I didn't talk to the neighbor about his dog getting hurt because he's the kind of a-hole who would come over and do something my dogs, even if it's his fault for letting his dogs run loose. I put up fencing with tighter spacing along the road and that bird dog stayed away for about 3 weeks but now it's back again.

I am seriously thinking about stringing a hot wire along the outside of my fence.

 

[yankeesfan1]

Let's see-right next door is a long haired dachshund, sweet dog probably doesn't get as much attention as he should. Across the street a lady, has I think, 4-5 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. She mainly lets them out in her back fence, so not sure of the exact number. There is a golden that's a service dog for a veteran, a dalmatian, one extremely well behaved boxer, 2 other boxer mixes, an Irish Setter, and a handful of mutts.
