Big Dogs
any yard too small for a big dog. my in laws have few thousand sq meters and it makes no difference. their rottie (daughter of our goggie) leads an excavation to china and destroys all plants. she even digs under the cacti in order to grab spike free part and then pull them out. rolls in decorative flowers. rips apart small palm trees. eats plastic bowls for food, actually they are huge bowls for washing but used for the food. my suegra had to switch to metal cooking pots. pulls washing out of the lines.
our younger one does the same albeit at a smaller scale. scary.

My thought is that these dogs are smart..
Smart dogs get bored and do the things you describe
You need to entertain them - challenge them.... play ball.... train them....anything
Give them something to play with .... besides your plants !!
Acira might be offer some ideas.
We have 9000 m2...... they have lots of room to run but need the challenge... or playtime.
Its a job entertaining them

oh, they torture our maid and the gardener 
i should be giving them more but i also think it's the age. older dog is really calm, she mostly sleeps. when she was young she was a single weapon of mass destruction too.
i also think that when goggies have each other it's much better. they play a lot and enjoy own company.
but walks are constant daily routine i would not give up.

A dog...a frisbee...and a willing victim to throw the frisbee...the pool is optional...
A decoy in full bite suit, preferably not afraid of dogs...there you go...
eum...now, this cat was not an option for my dogs to chase :bandit:
Gonna stick to frisbee however if I see how much fun they have with it and how fast they are tired...you have no idea

We have the whole beach for her to run, beach is empty where we live, so its all for doggie!
we used to let the goggie off the leash when walking at the golf course but once she run after some chickens. she is a fast dog, i tell you! but trees she cannot climb so chickens won that one. in any case i do not think it is wise to let goggies roam freely anymore...
but frisbee is a great idea! where can i buy?

You can order them directly from the US via hyperflite.com but be sure to read their free instruction guide on how to use them at Disc Dogs! Rock, do want your goggies to have fun with them and not be injured

i think in a game frisbee vs rottie the latter will win
but thanks, my brother in law is in the USA now, i'll ask him to buy, they must have them in many stores, right?
Hyperflite—Hyperflite Retailers
Not to be found in Petsmart or Petco, the only safe one you could buy there is the frisbee of Kong but thats really a floppy disc, can't hardly throw with it but its...ok
It might be a Josephine Conrad thing. She's originally from Poland and spent many years in England.
Like Joseph Conrad she mastered the English language. Conrad wrote Heart of Darkness, she has a dark, mad sense of humor. :laugh:
Careful.... by the time you want to go to Santiago, the dog might be too large to fly....
Think this over..... no way to get to RD..... maybe cruise ship from Miami to Samana
Kennel and dog limit is about 100lbs.... for both kennel and dog.
Don't want you to be disappointed...

Do you know of anyone who wants to buy a 10 mth. old black?

And helping Whirleybird moderate DR1:
They are actually pretty intelligent, incredibly personable and very loving. They are good as guard dogs as they make so much noise, although Tyson has never bitten anyone he does knock people over and stands over them whilst waiting for the pit bull to finish them off.
I bought him here and if you look here gran danes - animales - perros - gatos - Rep?blica Dominicana you can see there are a lot for sale. Expect to pay around 45,000 RD$.
