Well, I have a greyhound - and since we have a fenced in yard, he is allowed to play off-leash while in the yard. But outside of the fence, it's leash-only!
My parents let our cocker run around with no leash, they have a lot of property and knows to stay away from the road. My cavi is still a puppy but my boyfriend and I let her run around
outside with no leash as long as we are away from cars and in a grassy area.
My girl plays twice a day at the unofficial dog park in the neighborhood. If we are not in a gated area she is always on leash. She gets spooked too easily. I'm scared she would dart into the
street.
My dogs are off leash a lot. They are like velcro and we can't get 5 feet from them! Don't have to worry about them running off, they won't even go outside unless we are with them. They just
stand at the door crying if left outside alone.
Yes, all the time. Our dog is actually better behaved off leash than on leash. We think it has something to do with her being concerned about losing us. When she's on the leash, she knows
we're there and can pull and tug and drag us wherever she wants. But when she's off leash, she knows it's her responsibility to stay near us or we could wander off. It's almost like she
doesn't trust US to be off leash!
My older dog is allowed off leash, she knows not to go out of my sight and stays on the sidewalk until we reach the woods. My new dog however hasn't earned my trust enough to be allowed out
off leash unless he's in a fenced in yard. Though theoretically it's against the law to have the dog off leash.
One of them (Lady) can walk around off leash but the other one can't (Chico). He's crossed the street twice while being off leash, so we don't let either of them without. But we take them to
the dog park almost everyday where they play a lot with their other dog and human friends.

They can and do! At least once a day.

2According to the law in my state, no, but I do it anyway because it's not enforced where I live.
3No. My Italian Greyhound is too fast. He's always on a leash when not fenced in.

7My dogs play off-leash at the dog park only (and inside the house). Otherwise, they're always on a leash for safety!
