NoJ Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Today I found the new addition to the family unit, a 1 yr old mutt (black lab/australian cattle dog/german shepard; rescue) chewing the hell out of the basement stairs. The hell!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Today I found the new addition to the family unit, a 1 yr old mutt (black lab/australian cattle dog/german shepard; rescue) chewing the hell out of the basement stairs. The hell!?Nice! We got a Lab/German Shepard rescue a few months ago. About 1.5 yrs old, maybe. She's awesome but has eaten a few of my books and digs some big-assed holes in the back yard. She's chewed the corners of the coffee table in living room and the dining room chairs, too, as well as the living room area carpet edges! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 That dog eats any of my books or records and its off to the forest preserve with her! Speaking of carpet, I just found her chewing a hole in the center of a throw rug in the basement. Its been 2 weeks so now she feels comfortable in expressing who she really is?

Black Lab/Shepard/something mix rescue. Sweetest dog in the world, but destructive as all hell. She's getting better (she's about 3 yrs old now), but I've wanted to strangle her more than once. I'm starting to think someone, somewhere is trying to breed the ultimate destructive dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of carpet, I just found her chewing a hole in the center of a throw rug in the basement. Its been 2 weeks so now she feels comfortable in expressing who she really is?We assumed it was separation anxiety, as ours was a rescue, too. None of the behaviors (save for the outdoor digging) happen when we're home, We bought her a portable cloth dog house deal that she digs and recently started leaving the radio on while we're gone and that has helped lesson the destruction. She was even eating parts of a huge geode in the living room. We talked last night about getting a fence-like thing for in front of the book shelves she favors....

Very sweet animals but like having a toddler around the house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Mmmmm.....geodes.....delicious! My dog has a screw loose when it comes to other dogs. She goes from a kind, sweet gentle pup to the angriest beast in the world at the sight of another dog. We actually got kindly kicked out of the dog training class we were attending because of her aggressiveness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had to put a border collie mix down because she just kept getting more and more aggressive as she aged. A lot of those herder-type dog breeds/mixes seem to turn sideways as they get older....

She actually goes crazy if she's separated from our other dog (a Bassett Hound). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Oh man, she got more aggressive as she aged? We were hoping that she'd mellow as she got more comfortable with us and the training took hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Weird! Sorry for your loss, though.Thanks but it was a bunch of years ago and the oldest kids were young then. No place would take her because of the aggressiveness and we couldn't keep her because the kids were so young. Bummer. NoJ: In my experience, that's what happens with the border/herder breeds. If she's getting kicked out of training school, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe she will mellow out, who knows.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
