Is there any such thing???

I had a decent patch of english ivy going, and some St. Augustine.
She is a very active border collie and has killed it all. I have bare
dirt where she runs. :-(

Any suggestions?

I have found that Tiff 419 holds up well to dog traffic. I have a
border
collie as well and you can see the trail, but tiff will adjust and grow
very
close and dense to the ground. When it is first starting to grow I made
some temporary obsticals that I could put in the dogs run path and make
it
go around, giving the grass a chance to take hold and grow.

Awesome, thanks, but I've never heard of it!
Where can I get it and does it come in sod or do I have to plant seed?

Thanks!!!

I tried google.com, amazon.com, and eBay.com to buy Tiff 419 and came up
blank. I also did a search for "lawn garden" at google.com and then check
some sites out for Tiff 419... nothing!
So at one of the well designed sites I asked them to contact me. If and when
they do i will post the address here.

I did a search for Tiff 419 , grass, Austin and this appeared among the

It seems to be a popular golf course grass, so calling one of them might
turn up a more local supplier

Start calling garden centers near you. It's a bermuda, also called
"Tifway 419".

It depends on the amount of shade. Tifway 419 is a hybred bermuda, only in
sod form, there are no seeds for it. I have purchased it at various grass
places in austin, the grass patch on 183 carries it. You can get it in two
froms, sod grown in sand or sod grown in regular black dirt. The place I
purchased it was:

This site has some very good information on the various types of grass and
what works best in the area.

As long as it is reasonably dog proof. G
I hated to do it, but we bought the materials for putting up a hotwire
today. Best dog training device for teaching them to avoid certain areas
as it's remote so you are not involved... Does not ruin your personal
relationship with them. She is such a loving dog, I just don't want her
to associate ME with this phase of her training...

I'd really like to get my English Ivy patch back! She has stomped that
to death too. :-P

You should have asked before, my border collie learned where and what the
hot wire was and stayed away from it for the most part, but as soon as it
was down she was back in where we had it up. They are smart dogs and unless
you are willing to leave it up from now on, your dog will go right back in
there. I swear my dog could see when it was unplugged. The invisible fense
works better because it is not something the dog see's, its just there and
they wear a collar that takes care of the shocking.

Invisible fences have to be buried and are more expensive. ;-)

So, I may just have to leave it up... If a hotwire is done properly,
it's not unsightly IMHO. G You can set them up with solar chargers.
