Ruby is pretty good but her eyes go very wide at the sight of a toilet roll and she once destroyed a 10pack of them left on the bathroom floor. We cant leave the shoe cupboard open or it is emptied but apart from that just empty cereal boxes oh 0h oh oh i forgot she makes a bee line for my bra if i leave it on the bedroom floor

Oh yes chewing is a favourite past time with Gromit nowadays. He had the stereo remote (but nothing sellotape didnt fix), my husbands work notepad all of the toys i buy him he destroys very quickly, big lumps of oak(that are ment to last long time!!) socks, the bathroom mat is also a favourite to try and sneek downstairs with it without being noticed!

most things of value are now firmly out of dog reach!

Well our lot including the rescues have chewed amongst other things;

Most of our nearly new spanish chestnut kitchen units (Thanks mainly to Dufus).

4 oak kitchen stools. (Dufus again). I didn't tell Robert and Pat!

Door posts.

3 pairs of expensive varifocal specs, about £450 each pair,

My old aunts hearing aid in its smart little box,

Dog knows how many teatowels (Jack springer),

All of our back garden, roses, the lot!

Several vet beds in the last 2 months. Other dog beds don't stand a chance!

The gear knob and the seat belt catches in my Terrano. I can't replace the gear knob as it doesn't unscrew and it is most uncomfortable to use. (Jack)

Horse brushes that were left in the truck with Jack.

The seat belts in the back of Roger's car.

Anything that can be reached on the kitchen worktops by Jack, he has just chewed a washing-up brush.

TV Remote controls.

A brand new £70 throw.

The corner of Roger's Dad's leather settee.

A new pair of leather gardening gloves (Paddy yesterday).

The list is endless.

So you think you want a Springer!

You should have kept Bob!!! He doesn't chew anything Sorry - that was very smug wasn't it!!!

Good question, not with Tas but with my last cocker spaniel puppy:-

A four pack of kitchen rolls (behind the stair gate), nibbled through and distributed over kitchen!
Wooden Storage box
shoes
Seatbelts in back of car
Kitchen towel pulled down (with hook) and torn to pieces
Expensive sunglasses
bottom of patio blinds
kindling wood in log basket

but the worse thing was my £120 GHD hair straighteners which were about a week old, he chewed the plug off, again they were in a basket on the stairs and he managed to coax the plug end through the bars...

....thinking about it, that dog was really talented!! If I was locked in a prison cell, I bet he'd be able to reach the key from the prison guard, get it through the bars and escape without anyone realising anything had happened, bless him!

Dottie has chewed my very expensive rug that i used to care about. It is now covered up each night with what we call old rags that they can do what they wan't with.

Looking at the lists on here i have either been so so lucky or i have it all to come to me Have had the chewed up skirting boards . Cassie does not chew but will pick up and carry around anything in sight
and i mean anything

I do make sure that when they are at loose That they have a nice ox tail or something like that too chew.

Bob had Katy and James written all over his face so how could I?

Omg!!! I would of been distraught

The worst Roscoe has chewed is my 3 year old son

Smug too. Paddy struggles to chew his chew sticks and he even stores them til he thinks the cat will nick them. Although two rather nice sexy pairs of knickers and a pair of sweaty running shorts went by the way side when he first came to live with us. Holes in the wrong places

Had the rabbits in the house more pre Paddy and Silky chewed/ate: 2 computer modems yum yum ; phone wire; carpet at bottom of the stairs; laces on two pairs of shoes; handle of a bag; side of the same bag; husbands armani jeans; rather nice Kenyan tapestry wall hanging thing bought on honeymoon; futon mattress; two storage boxes; bike brake wires and bike computer wires; corners of several books and magazines and a bike tyre.


She now lives outside!!!!!

Our Fletcher chewed for England even though he was eight months when we got him. If we had to leave him although he was with our other two springers he chewed doorframes, skirting frames anything he could reach. The other two used to look disgusted when I let them out. Then I had a I brainwave before going out I 'accidently' left a pile of newspaper ,magazines etc on the worksurface. Although the kitchen was full of shredded paper there was no more damage. The strange thing was when he became the only dog in the house he changed, we left him the run of the house and he never chewed, pinched the kids sweets or biscuits (before he would truffle anything left around) and became a calmer and more grown up. We think he really preferred being the only dog in the house.

It is no consolation I know but I am so glad that I am not the only one with a springer who chews.

Rosie is not as bad as she was but when you let your guard down she chews anything she can get her teeth into.

She can go for weeks without chewing and then when you least expect it (parliculary if you go and make a coffee you get back to find she has chewed a cushion, throw from over the settee or tv remote control ).

Would I swop her? No way, I have now had her nearly 2 years, my house which was always clean and tidy is now untidy, my garden is flowerless and I now have to leave things out of her reach.

On the plus side, she is the first thing I see when I come down each morning, she wags her tail and goes mad when I collect her from my Dad's when I come home each evening.

She is a little angel for my Dad, and does no wrong, she has a playmate called Abbey who is 6 and Dad takes them out into his field during the day, Abbey runs free while Rosie is kept on a long training lead just in case she decides to go deaf.

We don't have a big list as he barley chews but here's what we got so far:

-Post lots and lots of letters etc
-Cat toys ( he so knows he's not allowed them hence when he gets them his whole body go's on a overload with excitement )
-A very special dalmatian toy i've had since I was around 8/9 years old so 10 years and because of it rubber material and sqeaker inside he destroyed half of it
-A few soft toys after he stole them
-Squeaky toys destroyed within a minute
-Neigbors frisbee after it hit him on the head and he ran off with it.
-2 leads ( get's distreased when you nip into the shop and tie him up so figured he can chew through the lead )

I belive that's it for us haha despite the things he stole and destroyed I forgive hima nd blame myself for leaving them within reach

Sam doesnt chew any of his toys!!

Dougal (my second springer) used to chew for England. Thankfully he's now stopped!

He chewed through the wall between my kitchen and hall (hole eventually big enough to put your arm through ) then he started on the wall between my hall and front room

I had the Geordie equivalent of the channel tunnel in my house.....

Then he got bored and went though my kitchen floor - through the lino and weyrock floor (sp?). We came in to see Dougal sitting in a hole...

And no - he wasn't left on his own for long. Every opportunity he got, he chewed.

But - although I threatened him with the sausage factory, I wouldn't part with him for the world.
