My dog keeps the dirt under are deck's stairs. She was never the kind of dog that liked digging stuff up. She is a great dane age 8. She is a chubby very energetic dog, and she doesn't seem to ahve changed anything in her behavior or eating habbits, except for the whole digging thing lol
I was wondering is there something wrong with her?

I tried giving her toys, but great danes don't find dog toys much fun at all, she just ignores them as always

She seems just a bit curious or bored. Im sure you have toys for her? Toys help bored doggies. Or she might smell some kind of animal or something under there, plus it is hot outside and dogs like to dig a hole to stay cool. It could be tons of things. She is most likely okay. =)

It sounds like the same thing the dogs we had growing up would do. They would dig under the steps in the summer and lay there. It was in the shade and the dirt was cool for them.

I doubt there's anything truly wrong with her. If your dog is bored, confined or chained she'll dig in an attempt to "get out". Or perhaps there's something that smells good--like a mole or some other critter--under the ground.
(A friend of mine named his dog "Digger" for obvious reasons.)

Dogs do that to make a cool place to lie down when it's hot out.
