Rooster Rivals farm defense: preparing guard dogs

Guard dogs protect your farm at night in Rooster Rivals, and every dog needs its own doghouse. Start with Vang’s DOGS tab for doghouses and supplies, then use EDIT PLOT → STORAGE to set them out on your farm. When placing a Wooden Doghouse, keep it inside your fence.

Prepare housing and supplies

The dog interface points you to Vang → DOGS for the doghouse requirement. Because that requirement applies to every dog, preparing housing for several dogs means providing several doghouses; one house does not meet the stated requirement for multiple dogs.

The shop also tells you where the furnishings go: doghouses, bowls and dog food bins enter your EDIT PLOT storage, and you set them out on the farm from there. This connects shopping with farm setup: use the DOGS tab to find the supplies, then switch to EDIT PLOT to arrange them.

For a concrete price example, a displayed offer listed the Great Pyrenees male Moon with an ADOPT — 7,100 COINS button, while a Wooden Doghouse offer showed BUY — 1,500 COINS. These are prices for those particular offers, rather than a fixed price for every Great Pyrenees or future shop listing. The dog interface says new dogs come in every day, giving you another opportunity to inspect available dogs.

Place a Wooden Doghouse inside your fence

With the Wooden Doghouse available in storage:

1. Open EDIT PLOT, go to STORAGE, and select Wooden Doghouse.
2. Tap a free spot on the farm or drag the doghouse to position it.
3. Use ROTATE if you want to change its orientation.
4. Keep the doghouse inside your fence, then use PLACE HERE to place it.

The placement interface also includes CANCEL and DONE. The fence boundary is the explicit placement restriction to follow when choosing a spot, alongside the instruction to use a free space.

Recognize the Great Pyrenees’ described role

The displayed Great Pyrenees female card calls her a “Night barker” and says she “warns you early and soaks up the most damage.” That description identifies two useful aspects of her nighttime role: warning you and absorbing damage.

Keep the card’s subject in mind when choosing a dog. That wording belongs to the displayed female card; Moon is a separate male Great Pyrenees offer. Read the available dog’s own description alongside its adoption offer when deciding which dog to prepare housing for.
