First, let me say that your neighbors dogs would not walk off my property.
Second, I agree that a good fence is a wonderful thing. Your underground fence only keeps your dog in, which is highly commendable, but it doesn't keep other dogs OUT. Your dog is effectivly trapped. Like you, I have more property than I care to fence in a manner that will keep out others' dogs. It is quite expensive. My solution was two fold: I fenced an area around the house for the dogs to be able to access freely and when I needed additional fencing that could be moved I went and found one of the fencing companies here that sold old construction fence panels. I bought 26 ten foot panels that are effectively 10 feet high (they have barbed wire on top). I zip tie/ wire tie these together whenever I need a mobile pen. Works a treat and ran me $100.
Still, in the end, dogs roaming your yard is unacceptable. If you are unwilling/unable to shoot, shovel and shut-up then I would take the dogs to an animal shelter in a neighboring county.
