Are you planning to breed your bitch?

I would check with the vet to see if she is in pup, and if she can have a mismate.

If the dog is digging up the garden, I'd take him out on a lead and never leave him unsupervised.

My dog is over a year old and he has two meals a day, and always will. I'd recommend getting them both onto two meals a day. I'd also suggest watching when they poo and immediately picking it up so they can eat it.
