Lol, throughout my life, I have always had at least one dog around. So I have many dog stories of destruction.
@casheroo reminds me of a story:
When I was a teen, we had several dogs. One of them was an abused female pitbull that we rescued. After she became an outgoing and happy dog, she liked to sleep in my bedroom. One day, I came home from school to find her locked in my bedroom (my mom had put her in there for some reason) ..laying in what used to be my bed. There was fluff, foam, and material everywhere ..seriously, she literally tore my bed to shreds. Lol, she just looked up at me like “Hi there!” ..I have a picture of it somewhere too.
My mom had a Saint Bernard puppy for awhile too, now that dog chewed everything. He ripped the seat off of my bicycle. He chewed right through one of the deck posts. One time he chewed through the front door (he was kept outside on her small acreage) and we came home to all the living room furniture shreded. He was around 6 months old.
@Neizvestnaya that is a great suggestion :)
And, I agree with @Blueroses, hounds require extreme patience and really do need to be trained well.
