We have standard collies.  They live outside year round and only come  
in on the coldest, wettest nights -about a half dozen a year in  
central Maine.  We do not chain or fence them in.  They never roam.   
They will not walk in a garden.  You can stand on one side and call  
them and they will always walk all the way around.  They never bite  
people.  They do not bother domestic animals including chickens.  They  
will bark all night sometimes if four legged intruders are  
threatening.  Since having them - about 20+ years now- we have never  
had any deer damage and we live deep in the woods.  They are the  
perfect farm/orchard dog.
