    Top 10 most destructive dogs :)

    I just ran across this today and thought it was interesting although the answers seem surprising. How could a chihuahua be almost as destructive as a great dane?

    Of course we don't have a lot of info here, i.e., do these pet owners use a crate for training or just let the dogs run loose unsupervised? At any rate, it made me smile because I remember the puppyhood days. The worst thing Bella ever did was find a little piece of "unglued down" wallpaper and tug on it which made it pull up off the wall. She did this right in front of me while I was on the phone!

    No siberian husky? Now that is surprising! Maybe the chihuahua "destruction" is peeing in the house.

    I wonder how closely that list reflects the ten most popular breeds in Great Britain? After all, it is just based on the number of insurance claims. I mean, has anyone here seriously called in a claim for their insurance because a puppy soiled the rug?

    Good point, Amy. I can see the Chis peeing in the house but those little teeth on D and D are hardly destructive otherwise.


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Wait a minute, I could have filed an insurance claim for the damage that ginger did by digging a hole in my carpet and chewing on my wall? I never knew that.

    I didn't know you could turn pet damage into your insurance company!

    12. Aspen the Challenged JRT

    She has peeled our wallpaper off in strips, from the height she can reach standing on her back legs to the baseboards, all through the hallway. Once finished with that, she proceeded to chew the banisters of our stairway, like a beaver working on a big tree.

    Deebo is a chihuahua.. He tears up every toy he comes in contact with. Specifically stuffed toys. We got him a toy from Petco that was is "tougher", and it has no fuzz or a squeaker in it.. He won't even touch it.. lol.. He doesn't like them unless he can tear them up. He has also done his share of chewing up other things that he shouldn't have.

    Alize' (Pit Bull) on the other hand, has toys she has had since she was 4 weeks old, that are still not torn up. She did chew up a water hose though.
