Sounds like you and your best friend might hopefully be in the clear.
When you say "metal fence" what are you referring to?, a colorbond fence or some crazy solid metal contraption?. I dont know, I'd honestly believe a fresh timber pailing fence would be stronger than colorbond. If I was forced to run and throw myself at one or the other, I think I'd chose colorbond!. And regarding the timber fence pailings, bunnings sell these for bugger all, the missus and I replaced all the rotten, flimsy ones on our fence when we moved into the house we bought last year. Turned out just like new.
Our neighbor has a JR, we have a JR x pug, a tenterfield terrior and got a mini foxie recently. The dogs used to bark and growl at each other through the rotten fence but with fresh pailings there's no gaps and a solid structure that the dogs can't see each other through. Still the odd "bark-off" or growl but nothing like it was when half the pailings were rotten and the fence had little gaps all over it.
Like I said, bunnings sell replacement pailings cheap and they are simple to replace especially if you can get hold of a nail gun.
