I have a 6' privacy fence and will never replace it with anything but
the same height. Boxers tend to be fence-jumpers though and given the
springs hidden in their feet it generally takes 6' to successfully
confine them. My sister, who adopted 2 Boxers from me, has a 5' chain
link fence. Both of her dogs can jump the fence

Yipes.

but they choose not
to. Neither one has any noticable prey drive and since they have each
other they generally don't look outside the yard for other
entertainment.

Queenie seems to have some prey drive, or at least she has some "chase"
drive. But I imagine she won't try to get out unless (a) there is a
provocation or (b) she's out there alone and bored. I can make sure the
second doesn't happen, anyway.

I know several Lab families that have 4' fences and
roaming Labs (males, some intact & some neutered). I think alot
depends on your individual dogs but if it were me I'd go with the 5'
just to get the most height coverage I could.


Good to know! Queenie's pretty springy, so it sounds like the more
height, the better.
