How scary.....when I was little my poodle was hit and kiiled by a car on the road in front of my house......I have nightmares about it to this day and will never let it happen again. We have a wrought iron fnece around our property that the yokries can fit through but the Westie and the standard poodle cannot. I let the westie and the poodle out by themselves but I have a covered patio area that I have x-penned off for the yorkies. The door to it is right off my computer desk off the kitchen nook and it is only open when we are home and in that room.
Otherwise they go out only on a leash. I have 19 exterior doors so I am always in a panic that someone is going to leave a door open and the yorkies will escape. I have also trained a firm "come" and "stay" but yorkies are terriers and sometimes they just have a mindof their own.
Good luck with a solution...let us know what you do!! Your place sounds so beautiful...wish I had 30 acres!!
