problem with digging

Does anyone have a staffy or an american bulldog that constantly digs? As in digs their way under the fence to get next door

I didnt think staffys or AB's were such notorious diggers! I know it is natural canine behaviour but my SBT x AB is taking liberties now

Unfortunatly American Bulldogs do dig my own does, I have trees dug to the roots in my garden they can also be extremely distructive dogs as can Staffords when youngsters.

Luckily he hasnt gone under the fence yet, but if he carries on it wont be long

Great
Georgie is staffy x american bulldog so he will dig his way out then!!!!

I wouldnt say he's a distructive dog, I have provided him with more than enough toys and chews and bones to keep him occupied, and I am lucky in a way that he learnt very quickly what he is to chew and what he's not allowed

My little one digs - but just enough so that she can touch noses with the pup next door. They both dig - the neighbours dog is a Malamute, heaps bigger than her, even though she is 2 weeks younger. They, neither one of them, dig destructivley. Just enough so that they have a friend.
I'm thinking of putting in a gate, just so they can play with each other.
