We have a six foot wood fence. It has to be close enough to the ground that they can't get/dig under it. But tall enough that they don't think they can get over it easily.
I have heard of pyrs who could climb chain link, or jump a shorter than 6 ft fence. But I've also seen pyrs live quite happily in a four foot chain link large yard. The foster home where we got Mason, had a very small yard and 3 or 4pyrs, one lab and one husky mix. And the yard was... very, very small. 40x50? and a three foot high fence? But somehow it worked. I don't think the head of the foster agency gave her any escape artists.
I think it depends on the degree of boredom and wandering quotient in your dog.
