I bought some rhizomes through Farmhouse Brewing and found that I won't be able to plant them afterall. Garden space and dog safety are going to win out unfortunately.
Looking to trade some Pilsner DME or similar for the following rhizomes -
Have one each

Columbus
Hallertau
Nugget
Centennial
Galena

Thanks I'm in 85009,

I saw somewhere that there have only been 6 confirmed cases of dogs being poisoned by hops. They were all one breed of dog also. We have an indoor dog. If she was an outdoor dog I likely wouldn't have hops in the back yard. Better safe than sorry.
 
I took a pound of hops, put them in a bowl and set them on the ground like I was giving my dogs a treat. They walked over, smelled them, and walked away. My dogs have no interest in hops. I think this is the easiest way to test whether your dogs will even try them.

Having said that, it is true that they can harm dogs and equally true that the numbers are low. There are many threads on this were sort of off topic for a classified. Shrugs.
 
My 2dogs are not at all interested in hop cones nor the plants themselfs, but can't keep them away from the fertilizer:)
 
Sounds like a old wives tale. Read that first thread, second page:

"http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/comlist.html Humulus lupulus is not listed on this rather comprehensive list. Nor does http://www.vet.ohio-state.edu/ site have anything on it."
 
Also if my Labrador is dumb enough to eat hops and ignore the nearby tomatoes, she deserves what she gets!

It seems like I found 2 cases a while back. Both of the same breed that are more sensitive than others for some reason.
