Puppies will be Puppies

[Dean Romig]

She's almost 14 months old now and I thought we had got over the "chewin'" hurdle but I was a bit premature in my hopes...

Grace took full advantage of my forgetting to take my whistle lanyard that Chris Dawe had made for me about a year ago from her 'kennel' area behind the front seat of my truck. Can't really blame the puppy for this one - after all, the leather was a bit sweat-stained and must have been delightful to chew on.... :shock:

Chris - I'll be needing another one. I'll send you the remnants of this one to use in the making of the replacement. I'll PM you to get your adress. :bigbye:

Every good hunting dog chews up something like that. Hope she has done it now and does not do it again. Gator dug a hole in our Chinese rug

Could of been that buttstock beside the lanyard Dean... There is a bright side here...

Jolie likes the taste of paper, checks that is, she's two years old but the other day megan brought in some takeout food and set it on the coffee table well 1 minute and it was in her mouth, and she was wanting to play keep away with the bag, a rolled up newspaper slapped on my hand did the trick, never touched her with the paper but you should have seen the look on her face, she's afraid of that paper, Gary

Bea likes to get hold of the tag end of a toilet paper roll and go charging through the house.

Dean Her littermate tober chewed all the corners off a 25.00 bamboo bench last winter- as planned we sold him at 10 months as a started grouse dog. I warned the new owner and showed him the bench. He replied Your dog did that ...Hes mine now. Just last week I heard from Tobers new dad. He chewed up the stock on a grade 4 Ithaca... I guess his dog did that eh?

[John Taddeo]

Unconditional love there....eh..... Now if he bumped birds all day and chewed the stock on the way home in the back seat that would be priceless.........

Thats why on the 6th day God made Tritronics.........

[Bill Murphy]

My Wirehair, Eva, would never chew a whistle lanyard or a gunstock, unless they were made of paper towels or grass.

[chris dawe]

I hear you Bill...Heiko has never had a penchant for chewing ,now if the lanyard were made of cat...well,that would be different :whistle:

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Either way we would not trade them for anything, they just give way so much to us in enjoyment, Gary

Gunner carried a shoe (always one of mine) with him around the house. He laid on it in his chair but never chewed it up, just carried it around. Daisy isn't a big chewer BUT she did chew a claw off the life size Grizzly mount!:cuss:

Years ago when we had four Drathaars,I forgot them in the house when we left for a few hours. When we returned we found that they had gotten into a lynx rug and we had hair on two floors of the house. Nothing left larger than a quarter, hair on every inch.
Another time they decapitated my young daughters complete Barbie collection.
I believe it was about that time that we phased in English Setters into the pack.

[Rick Losey]

oh yeah- like English setter are all gentlemen

I cannot begin to count the items mine have chewed up- the older one has been opened twice to get things out that never should have gone down the gullet to start with

the younger one doesn't need surgery - he can pass anything- a ziplock bag with a few of those "pill pockets" for meds for a barn cat disappeared off a high cabinet a few days ago- it showed up in the front yard today

:eek:

[Fred Lowe]

I hear that...
Dot, my oldest Setter was walking around a week or two ago, coughing and gagging. She stopped in the middle of the kitchen while the family sat at the dinner table. With a great retch, up came one of my new Under Armor athletic socks!! My son decided she would sleep in the basement, not on his bed like she typically does.

Hobbs prefers shopping boating and fishing catalogue's, if these are not available, the last rolled up newspaper "enforcer" left laying around is an acceptable substitute in his opinion.

I was asked once who i used as a dog trainer......had setters back then, and was dealing with a rogue named Rambo......my instant reply was "Reddy Killowatt"!!

Good timing. My 7 month old Lew was caught by my wife chewing up the end of a fantastic blank of English Walnut I had squirreled away behind a couch. How the little shit got behind the couch and drug it out was beyond me. Blank weighed about 12 lbs.

[chris dawe]

I had a beautiful little Gordon ,after a day in the woods I put him in his wire crate to dry off while I ate supper ...beyond all reason and belief ,he managed to reach his paw out and hook the lace of a brand new pair of 10"Bean boots the lace was around two feet away I remember it flopping down as I threw them off thinking he can't reach that ...well he did ,took the leather top right off about half ways down ,he was quite proud of himself actually.

[Rich Anderson]

I had a Shorthair who ate through a 4x4 treated post in his kennel. it took him a while but he got the job done. That dog would eat anything including the door of his new home.

[John Taddeo]

Keep posting Fellas...... I'm not feeling to bad about my dawgs anymore.... These stories are great entertainment when its not your boots.... This was a great subject for a post Dean....

Returned one night after a day of bird hunting with my DHE 12 and set the gun, in a gun sock, in the corner by the steps leading up to my gun room. As i was unloading the truck I came back into the house to find my female lab, Fox, chewing on the butt end of the gun sock. There must have been something tasty spilled on there as she gnawed the wood and Silvers pad pretty severely. Boy, talk about being sick and pissed at the same time. Luckily, Dewey Vicknair is close so I took it to him and he performed his magic. Can't tell it was ever damaged but the memory is still there.

[Rich Anderson]

Daryl there's another example of the rivalry between Parker and Fox:rotf:
