House/Yard size vs # GSDs

[RvUsa]

House is 1500 sq feet, plus basement (same size)
Mowed Yard, about 3 acres, soon to have about 2 acres fenced, as soon as I hit the lottery, or can afford it, whichever comes first.
But we live on a farm, with about 60 acres, my aunts own it, but I have full run of it!

1 really old GSD/Husky mix, rescue
1 really young GSD puppy (8 weeks old)
1 Spaz of a rescue beagle!
2 cats

How big is your house?
How big is your yard?
How many GSDs (Or dogs?)

NOW:

2100 square feet
3 acres (2 are fenced for the dogs)
1 GSD, 1 GSD mix, 1 Cocker, 1 Corgi mix, 1 Chinese Crested

When we moved in to this house:

Same square footage
3 acres - NONE fenced (had to put that up ourselves)
4 GSDs, 1 Cocker, 1 Corgi mix

House before this one (just me and the dogs):

900 sq feet
Typical double lot - 80 x 100 (not sure on the length)
At the highest occupancy - 4 GSDs, 1 Cocker, 1 Corgi mix and up to 5 foster GSDs

Currently:

1400 sq. ft
Pie shaped, 60 ft long, widest 40 feet. Thank goodness they built a dog park 2 blocks away! But hand walking for potty breaks alerts to any weird poos so it's not all bad.
2 Shepherds.

Next month:

3200 sq ft
Fenced 120 ft wide, 200 ft deep, subtract concrete patios, 16x20 pool, 10x12 pond.
Same two dogs.

Last 9 yrs,

2500 sq ft, 3 car, pool
5 acres fenced
300 or 330 across and 660 deep

Hardy, Grace, Diesel, Duchess, Oxana, Jake, Jade, and Jethro will be back here later in the year.

Unfortunately, Oxana and Duchess are getting up there. Duchess will be 13 in a few weeks and doesn't get along very well.


our old house:
1700 total sq, ft, 1100 of that living, 1 car, 50x100 lot and 2 gsd then

Can Della and I come to visit? We'll do chores for room and board.

Townhome on 4 acres.

Obnoxious cat next door with his own "kitty" door.
Despicable neighbor, we'll call her Brunhilda or the Sea Hag, who tenses up on her leash (black lab) everytime she sees Della.

Della is ALWAYS on a leash. Even when we pray.

Beggnig husband to move, he doesn't want to. So, I may be taking a longterm vacation to TX where Della can have a yard and some freedom.
