You do not provide enough facts to answer this properly. I assume you mean provable and significant damage caused by the dogs and that there is a leash law prohibiting "running loose." If that is the case and there are other circumstances, they could be responsible.

Yes, these neighbors could be responsible for any damage caused to your
property by their dogs even in the absence of any leash law.
