well I Dont know....
Duke, the Newfie, has chewed through a lot of things electrical in nature but doesnt do that either...
I think its just the dog's personality....and that sucks too...Shepards can be great dogs
Yes, our previous shepherd was wonderful. Didn't meet many of the standards (was registered) but what a charmer. People that were afraid of shepherds would eventually approach him because of his floppy ears, in spite of his 110 lbs.
Sadly, I think you may be right. This has spoiled it for us and shepherds. It also shows spending big bucks for a dog doesn't mean a thing. Lesson learned.
