If they are the bricks with holes in them, you probably won't want them as dog run pavers - you are right there - Often the mortar pops off quite easily - takes a while, but - use a hammer & tap it a bit - sometimes the brick breaks, sometimes it just pops off - if it is just a chip that breaks off the brick, or the brick comes in two, you might still be able to use it ! How old is the house? That might tell you something about the bricks - Also - just a quick trip over & looking at some of the bricks up close & personal will tell you, too <g>
