A high fence is the only 200% security.


50%. They dig under it.


Not if it's fitted properly. Which means burying the bottom.


Even burying it isn't a guarantee that they won't dig under it. I've
found that by simply laying the wire out along the foxward side of the
ground for about 2 feet stops them. They try to dig at the base of
the fence but don't have enough smarts to go back 2 ft and dig under
from back there.
