To your point Jack about country living. I love being able to condition my hounds in the country. But i have a huge problem with loose dogs in the country. People let their dogs roam freely and it creates huge problems for me. I have a route now that i do without too many problems but i feel i should be able to go wherever i want. The reason I don't is proven by what that lady said to you. I try to stay as low key as possible. But by doing so i miss out on some of natures wonders. This is a good topic for a post.
