I have two dogs (both 60+ pounds) and a split rail fence. So far, no problems and I've been in this house for over two years. The owner before me also had a fairly large dog with no problems.

​

I recommend buying a house that already had a fence, whether in Columbia or Ellicott City. This saved me some hassle.

That's a really good point--there are homes in Columbia and EC that already have fences. If you find a house with a fence, either the fence has already approved or it will be the seller's problem to get it approved.

A lot of the ones we have looked at don't have them at all or they aren't sufficient for our needs. It's harder than it sounds to find one with a fence already built, we've only seen maybe 3 out of the 40-50 houses we've toured!

What HOA are you in? Is the fence 6ft?

I live in the Jeffers Hill neighborhood, part of Long Reach. I have no idea which HOA I'm in, because I've never had to deal with them.
