The dog is certainly a handful, many high energy dogs can be destructive. Though I don't see anything abnormal for a bored, high energy dog or reasons to be called a "Devil Dog". The dog sounds manageable, it's not impossible, otherwise no one would own a high drive, high energy Malinois, GSD, Pit, Border Collie, ect, ect. This dog is far from the crazy dog that they are being made out to be. I could understand someone being at their wits end trying to deal Auth the situation if they were not prepared but they have been given good suggestions.

I also don't see why the rescue wouldn't take him, considering how many dogs end up in rescue for these same reasons.

Rehome the dog to someone who will give him a job!
This dog is being abused by the op by his own admission of throwing his shoes at the poor animal. He has no intention of doing anything in the dog's best interest and believes himself to be the victim in this situation.

GRs have a very sweet nature, but don't be surprised if some day he turns on you for throwing shoes at him. What does that solve?

^^^this. OP, do you actually take this supposed dog on ANY walks or runs? Or do you simply put him in the yard and let him do his thing?

OP, your other 20 dogs were likely stuffed animals. Twenty dogs - really? I find that very hard to believe.

I AM horrified you think you are a good dog owner. You are not.

Sorry, but I used to work in rescue and I believe that the OP really does have this dog. The OP is, most certainly, exaggerating the situation and probably has not come back to this thread because she doesnt want to address with the comments.

I appreciate and share your perspective but I checked one of the OP's other threads linked by another poster on this thread and he definitely trolls. As 12 said, let's stop feeding him.

Wow yeah after reading their thread about "running" pretty much don't believe anything they said.

"Did I mention this is at near 4,000 feet elevation with steep mountains?

I guarantee none of you could finish this course."

I mean they claim to be running 4 hours a day in the other thread but only made it 7 miles. Totally not running, clearly a troll who didn't do the simple math. That's slow walk. And 4,000 ft is supposed to mean what, that walking is equivalent of running? I lived at 4,000 ft elevation for 5yrs and it didn't slow my run down to walk pace when running dogs, I moved faster than them when I was pregnant.

See if you can find a DIFFERENT POUND to take him...... He is probably scared and trying to get "kicked out" -- Poor thing,being sent to so many different families must be aweful....

Try not to be hard on him,try to be paitent,I KNOW ITS HARD!! -- We adopted a dog once and she was also a nightmare (Chewing up stuff,etc) my mom and dad got rid of her.... (Her name was MEG) -- I now look back and I feel bad,I feel like we didnt give her enough chance.... I hope meg is still alive!! (This was in the 90s)


Good luck acercode

crating make the most sense. Dogs don't want to be alone all day. It's best to get a dog when someone's going to be around to pay attention to it. For a working family get a cat.

This is for all you clowns calling me a liar claiming I don't really own a GR and that he couldn't possibly have done the damages I stated since they are all sweet angels from heaven.





I don't lie like most of you.
