Rooster Rivals guard dogs: doghouse setup and Great Pyrenees
Understand the doghouse requirement, how to place a Wooden Doghouse inside your fence, and what the Great Pyrenees card says about its nighttime role.
Every guard dog needs its own doghouse. The adoption interface points you to Vang > DOGS for the setup: doghouses go into EDIT PLOT storage, ready to set out on your farm. When placing a Wooden Doghouse, keep it inside your fence.
The displayed Great Pyrenees female card calls her a “Night barker” that “warns you early and soaks up the most damage.” That description gives her two stated strengths: early warning and taking damage. Guard dogs serve the broader purpose of protecting your farm at night.
How to place the Wooden Doghouse
Vang’s DOGS tab shows a Wooden Doghouse offer for 1,500 coins. The shop instructions say doghouses, bowls and dog food bins go into your EDIT PLOT storage and should be set out on the farm.
Once you have a Wooden Doghouse available in storage, the shown placement process is:
- Open EDIT PLOT and select the Wooden Doghouse from STORAGE.
- Tap a free spot on the farm or drag the doghouse to a position.
- Use ROTATE if you want to change its orientation.
- Keep the doghouse inside your fence and use PLACE HERE to place it.
The fence boundary is an explicit placement condition: the interface says, “It has to stay inside your fence.” A free spot must therefore also be within that boundary. Because every dog needs its own house, the housing requirement applies separately to each dog you plan to adopt.
Reading the Great Pyrenees adoption cards
The female card’s early-warning and damage-taking description explains its advertised nighttime role. “Soaks up the most damage” is the card’s wording; it does not give a numerical damage amount or warning duration.
A separate displayed adoption offer shows Moon, a male Great Pyrenees, for 7,100 coins. Treat that as Moon’s particular offer, rather than a fixed price for every Great Pyrenees. The female card supplies the quoted role description, while Moon’s card supplies this price example.
The adoption interface also says new dogs come in every day. When choosing a dog, read the individual offer alongside the one-doghouse-per-dog requirement so you can distinguish the adoption cost from the housing setup.
