Pretty sure I would have stayed in the 3300 sq ft, hopefully had a couple acres, til some of the zoo disappeared or at least downsized to MUCH smaller critters.
Have but 1 question? Why the biggest dogs on the planet?
Well maybe 2 questions! Where do you sleep?

Have you ever had an IW they are the most family friendly easy going dogs on the planet all they ask is to be with their people. As for the rest we have had them for years the house was on 8 acres the place we are set up is on 7 acres so they will have room to run for awhile yet. I am making a doggy door for the back so they can come and go.

In my opinion big dogs are the best dogs. Our last dog was a pure bread St.Bernard. Not ideal for camping so we will hold off on new animals.

Wow. You have your paws full! Those are some big dogs to be in a small space. Cats go outside? What will you do when you get to a campground? Most don't allow dogs to be tied to a camper or some fencing/kennel put up outside. This will be a challenge! What will you do with the critters when dragging the camper down the road? Interested to hear what you plan (we have 8 dogs currently and 3 cats). Cats stay inside and we have about an acre fenced with chain link with bottom buried in concrete so dogs can do some running. The concrete is to prevent digging under.
