I'm surrounded by cow pasture and fields in PA Dutch Country, have an amishman down the road. It's Lancaster County though, so only about 5 mins from town, and no good places to hunt, or farm. All the rich city slickers from Harrisburg live around here in mansions on their 1 acre "ranches" and complain about a dog bark, or the smell of a cow.

But I can drive three miles, in any direction, and have a place to turn loose.

I live about 15 - 20 miles outside Milwaukee. My town has about 75,000 people. I am right in the middle of town, on a dead end road. Never had a complaint about my dogs. People in my neighborhood thought for the longest time I only had 1 dog. I have 3 Walkers, I guess everyone around here thinks I hunted the same one everytime.

I live on 6 acres and am surrounded by cornfields .... the nearest neighbor is a mile away and the nearest paved road is two miles away, the nearest convenience store is 6 miles away and the nearest wal-mart is 30 miles away. The only traffic on the road in front of the house is the school bus and the mail man and me coming and going to work LOL. Ahhh just the way I like it

We live 5 miles from the nearest small town and about 12 miles from the closest decent sized town, the town most people who live around here work in. We are definitely rural but we have quite a few neighbors. Our area is divided into 5 and 10 acre tracts. BUT since most of us live on the front of our tract, we actually have four neighbors within shouting (or bawling) distance, so we do have to take care to keep the dogs REASONABLY quiet.

LOL I don't even know if we are on the map. hahaha

We actually live in a tiny place called Houston (population maybe 250). Just to give you an idea how tiny... We live 30 miles from the closest hospital, major restaurants, Walmart, etc. There is a Jack's about 12 miles away though, I think. LOL

We have 2 small gas stations, a post office, volunteer fire department, and a stop sign. Pretty crowded, huh? LOL

Gotta love the country!

I live in a small town in Iowa with about 1500 people in it. I have houses all around me. And a appartment complex in my back yard. My kennel is 35 feet from the apartments windows. I have had some problems with my dog when I first moved him into town, with his barking. I went to the local K Mart store and bought a $40 bark callor 4 years ago and solved that problem. I havn't used it in a year. You can live in town with a REAL Coonhound but you got to remember. Not every buddy likes your sport or your dog and it's your responsibility to keep the peace. If you think that you are any better of a hunter because you live in the country you will be subprised where some of these hounds live. I know some guys that have nice hounds that live in the Twin Cities of Minn in thier houses and apartments.

unfortunately I live in town. I have lived in town most of my life. Spent a couple of years on the farm. I miss it. Also has forced me to reduce my number of dogs.

WE USE TO LIVE RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE CITY LIMITS 20YRS AGO, THEN DECIDED TO MOVE FARTHER OUT BECUZ THEY STARTED THIS NEW ORDINANCE ABOUR ONLY ABLE TO HAVE 6 DOGS OR LESS. SO WE MOVED OUT TO THE COUNTRY, AND IT IS NOT TO BAD. BUT IF I COULD I WOULD GET MY DAD TO MOCE WAY OUT INTO THE COUNTRY WHERE NOBODY IS AROUND FOR MILES AND THE DOGS COULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE RUNNING ROOM.

As I stated above, I live in town, and the neighbors don't like the barking. I try to keep the barking down, and even bought a bark collar. But with my family out of town, last Friday, some neighbor called the police and I got a warning about my dogs barking. It really irritated me; because I don't know which one it was, and I spent the weekend at home, and they hardly barked at all. Anyone else have the police called because their dogs barked?

I live in town my dogs are ten yards away from my back porch on top of that I live in a apartment with tons of neighbors. But my dogs don't bark even when I take two out of three hunting or even one. They know better and I don't have bark collars on them they are just smart and well trained and that's the way I like it. Hopefully by next year I will be in the country if my wife will agree.

We live on a dead end dirt road with one other neighbor about 1/4 mile away, woods all around us. The town population is around 800. Size of the town is 48 square miles with 52 miles of town road running thru it,mostly dirt roads or old cow paths lol. Over the past 5 years we have seen an increase in people moving in and a lot of them are weekend homes. Was once mostly farm land, small dairy farms. One store in town with a gas pump, and some food and milk to buy, still have the regulars at the coffe pot every morning telling there storys about the one that got away or you shoulda seen the buck i see the other day. I'm afraid though that in the next ten years this little comunity will grow and what im used to seeing and being around will change.
