Default House/Yard size vs # GSDs

We've done this before but there are a lot of new folks and I always find this fascinating!

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

House is a 2500sq ft 2 story, plus a finished basement adding another 1000sq ft or so.

Yard is 10 acres. About 1/8 acre is fenced as the dog turn out/potty/play yard. The dogs have access to the rest of the property when we're out with them to supervise, except for the 4 acres or so that is fenced off for our horses (and the dogs have to stay out).

We have 6 GSDs, 2 horses, and 2 cats.

1300 square ft
half acre yard, not fenced
1 GSD for now.

Having a house built on three acres that will definitely make me look at the situation again.
