What's the naughtiest thing your dog has ever done?

Yes, and my older GSD has pegged off several times after squirrels, hares and pheasants and also has to be on a lead in unenclosed areas, but being Captain Slow he never manages to catch anything :p - it doesn't make me a martyr, it's not a big deal, just one of those things, just requires a bit more management.

My old bitch was not allowed to 'roam around killing other animals' on both occasions we didn't put the bolt home on her kennel door properly, she got into the garage and got at the rabbits, I was distraught at the time, it was human error, she was following her instinct, what's the point in crying about it now?
 
My dogs are on the lead at all times in unenclosed spaces (zero recall, like yours breed specific and involving a high prey drive) and they still manage to catch and kill mice, rats, rabbits, pigeons, squirrels and pheasants quite regularly. I am completely unbothered by the former as they are vermin, the latter I do my best to avoid as they are technically owned by someone but pheasants are often too stupid to live.

Cat was a very sad accident and the actions that led up to it will not be repeated.

They are not roaming the countryside slaughtering sheep, they're attached to me with a belt and 6ft lead. :p
 
With regards to mine killing a squirrel in a crowded park, I don't feel any remorse for her actions, only her timing. The park in question used to cull them anyway. And a terrier is pretty much the quickest death for a rodent imo. And she was a terrier, not a fast lurcher. So any squirrel she could catch on an open field wasn't healthy or likely to last long anyway. Every other squirrel she'd chased on open fields in her life out ran her. And as far as rats & mice go, she was a much kinder method than a cat, or trap or poison so I'm not going to feel guilty about all the ones she killed, it was actually very helpful.
 
I don't think there are many things my dogs haven't done...
Stole a hot dog from my friends little girl, not the bread though just the sausage
Ate a sofa
Ate the skirting boards
Ate the blinds
Ate a rug

Have attached a couple of pics to demonstrate the destruction....

The dog room destruction was from 2 separate days and happened in about 10 minutes, one of them also learnt how to get out of his cage so he could go on a chewing rampage
 
[/QUOTE]Without doubt his worth thing is eating the crotches out of nickers that are on the clothes horse :eek:[/QUOTE]

My dog does this ALL the time, once he got himself into a complete angl and I found him hoping around on 3 legs wearing my knickers as a head scarf!! Very difficult to explain why there are pants EVERYWHERE in my house when we have visitors, he also has a habit of taking them outside with him for a chew on the lawn, embarrassing when the neighbours look over!!

I really dont see why we have to explain the actions of our wee terriers its what they are bred to do and I agree with you that squirrel can have been a healthy one.:)
 
I lost my boy Fitz just over a year ago a week before his 15th birthday. He was very special and my first dog (ie not owned by the whole family). He was a an absolute swine and I spent the first 6 years screaming his name with him heading off into the distance. But I loved him more than anything in the world and would give up everything I own to have him back just for a few days!
His worst habit (vet couldn't find anything wrong with him) was dragging his rump on strangers carpets-didn't matter where we went. Never did it at home just when out visiting! The list of things he chewed as a pup was endless. Worst probably the freezer wire which blew all the fuses in the house. Don't know how he didn't kill himself!
God I miss that dog!

Where to start.

Our English Setter is a gorgeous dog, but was a terrible puppy. One of her more famous incidents was wading through the pond that we share with out neighbours (I say pond, more like pit of sloppy mud) and wandering into their garden. She then noticed their front door was open so wandered in. Our neighbour had recently had a stroke so was in bed downstairs with lovely fresh white sheets. Yep you've guessed it, she saw our neighbour and being a very affectionate girl decided to go and say hello. She jumped up onto his bed (still covered in stinky mud), snuffled all over his face and then curled up on his lap, wriggling with happiness. It's hilarious now but as you can imagine wasn't appreciated at the time.

Oh dear this sounds so similar to what my Irish setter did few months ago.His was on a bit of a larger scale though,ran into someones house (they had left the front door open) up their stairs and into the master bedroom,leapt all over the place much to the horror of the poor lady who lived there and was getting dressed.

This wouldn't have been quite so bad were it not for the fact that he had just been walked in the muddy field and taken a dip in the stream,and of course the carpets through the house had to be light beige didn't they:o

There is no defence really other than their house adjoins dog walking field and they have a collie that sits outside the house that my setter is friends with,oh and they left their front door open of course.

It was not me walking dog that day,and i am ashamed to say the partner who was walking him heard the shrieks and promptly ran back into the field hoping the dog would eventually follow and prepared to deny all knowledge and ownership of said beast:o

On the upside at least his antics are due to his being over friendly and bonkers rather than anything remotely aggressive,stupid creature wouldn't know how to kill or maim anything if his life depended on it,he even got beat up by my sisters cat:rolleyes:

Although he did once bowl over a small child by having a failure of his breaking system whilst running to say hello:o

He is a PITA in loads of ways,and humiliates me on a regular basis,but not by doing anything unusual,more just be being a setter:rolleyes::p
 
I love this thread. It really helps to know I am not alone.

Bot of mine Broke through the hedge into next door's garden and only went there to poo. I was oblivious to it for a week until my cross neighbour brought me round a carrier bag full of their offerings that she'd found when going out to mow her lawn.
 
Our standard poodle was meant to make an appearance at our wedding to surprise my hubby. I mainly blame the walking company who left our front door wide open so he bolted out the house and ran several miles up the road (quite a busy one) our neighbour and the walker following him and he made his way into the field behind a residential home. Soy brand new husband got the phone call to say what had happened and that he wouldnt go to them so my husband had to leave our wedding pretty much straight after the service to drive the 30 or so miles to try and coax him out of hiding. But he had very sore feet and he is a big lump so my husband had to carry him across the field in his posh suit with all the residents watching then make sure he was ok with our neighbours before making it back to our wedding after getting stuck in Friday afternoon traffic. So he was missing for about 4 hours of our day. There have been a couple of other similar incidents, one resulting in him and my grandad being dropped home in the back of a police car after running into a car then sprinting in the opposite direction for several miles. He is a lovely dog, just a bit special at times. Not to mention the amount of cakes he has polished off.
 
Lola's naughtiest moment was chomping through a pack of morphine tablets - very scary night!

She will also snaffle food off the sides if left unattended for long - she can effortlessly reach!

Hides hotdogs and potato etc round the house and behind cushions... Which are nice to find a week or so later. Thankfully she seems to have grown out of this!

She's chewed my mums elderly dogs coat, a few dresses of mine and few other bits of clothes that have been on top of her crate!
 
Muppet the spaniel has a liking for blackberrys and not the fruit. She killed dads and chewed mine..... A pair of glasses disappeared as well. All human error..... We should be tidier!

Max our old collie chewed back seat of mums metro up and loads of seat belts.... Ooops
 
My Gsp has a few stories. One being all sitting down watching the tv when he walks in with a bit of chicken, searched kitchen and couldnt find anything to later find the chicken carrecus sp? Under my bed cover buried.

At a show pulled the bench out of the concrete floor and ran round then put in the car to un tack horse and chewed the head rests.

When i was in hospital that night he chew the sofa and pulled all the foam out.

But we still love him
 
When I was a little person (about 6) and we still lived in pubs, my dad was known for his beef and gravy baguettes. Our deeply loving but equally special labxspringer one day decided that the large side of beef in the kitchen was too good to ignore. So he took it.

The punters were treated to free entertainment in the style of watching my da cussing and chasing the dog around the pub; as he happily showed off the nice side of beef to all the people who were meant to be eating it shortly :D

Fortunately it was a country pub so it was all treated as perfectly normal and a unanimous vote decided that the "chewed up bit" be given to the devil-pup and the punters would chow down on the rest. Very sensible imo :D

Less amusingly Loki, aged 6 months, fell in love with a runner who stopped to fuss him. Sadly, after capturing his heart she decided to keep on jogging. He was not prepared to let her go so easily and grabbed the hem of her t-shirt. It ripped. I received a fairly well deserved dressing down from the nice lady. :o
 
Blue has a new trick. It's called wake up mum and dad at 2.30 am by doing my need-to-go-out-for-a-wee yip. Then not want a wee. Then start again once mum or dad have just got back into bed. Repeat as required.

He's done this the past 2 nights. If he does it again tonight, we're going to try and ignore him, as it seems to be him wanting attention. Hubby has threatened him with a water pistol too!
 
Our 13wk old rottie got hold of our elderly bantam this evening, no harm done as we saw her go for it, but she could easily have killed her. That's about as far as its got so far!! *crosses fingers*
 
I had a very embarrassing 'Fenton' experience in front of a group if elderly ramblers, they were not amused :p
Ruby has also killed a chicken at the yard (I hid the corpse and blames the fox :p)
She regularly eats my knickers and when I think I've collected them all she will present a pair to any guest in the house :(
She has eaten several shoes.
Yesterday she removed the stuffing out of my new turnout rug :(
When she was a puppy she 'played' with 24 toilet rolls!
She ate my entire birthday cake this year... A chocolate one big enough for '15 people' = 1 greedy rottie!
I was doing an obedience demonstration with her at work in front of new handlers and she buggered off and killed a pigeon then proudly gave it to me :( :p that was embarrassing.

When I think about it she's not a very nice dog :p
 
Freya is now nearly 11 months old and, fingers crossed, has been quite good so far. However, her list of crimes so far are:

- Destroying my favourite boots (my fault, I left them in the living room)
- Hiding treats and bones EVERYWHERE - not nice when you find a half chewed rawhide toy under your pillow!
- Presenting a pair of my knickers to all my friends who were round for my birthday BBQ
- Destroyed every single one of my white bras... no other colours, just white!
- Raiding the cat's litter box.... and then hiding cat poo under the couch cushions!!!
- Tried to attack a lady's handbag because it had one of those fake fur tails on it - luckily the lady saw the funny side.
- The other day it was pouring down, I let her into the garden in the morning, she did a wee then came back inside. Then squatted while looking at me and did a massive poo on the kitchen floor! (she doesn't like the rain, typical whippet).

But compared to some on here, she's actually been pretty good :)

mine was not so much naughty - as a misunderstanding.....

we've always sent a dog through a garden of an old manse thats stood empty - next season - sent dog through as usual but didnt know that people had moved in - dog came merrily trotting back with their pet chicken :o

i was mortified - very appologetic etc - but the woman was histerical - literally about to have a panic attack - offered ring its neck and replace it because although dog is soft mouthed it had obviously caused a bit of injury as chicken could not stand due to an injured leg. hysterical (i;m taking howling and crying, couldnt breath etc) woman took all details and called police and tryed to get them to give me an ABSO :eek:

police came out to in laws house later (yes even worse this was at in laws :o ) and tryed to be serious but kept giggling saying that we should replace it with one from sainsburys LOL but said in all seriousness we did right by offering to replace etc.

he also gave me an update on the chicken - that the emergency vet had been out to sedate and treat it and that it was in a critical but stable condition.....

he said he was not going to pursue as they had a duty to protect their animals and if a dog could get in then the perimeter fencing was not good enough and a fox could have easily had it by now. he did also say that she was still hyper-ventilating etc when he went to see her 5 hrs after she called :eek:

so a week later we get a vets bill for £80 plus a bill for £10 for a new chicken - aparently the chicken had deteriorated over night and had to get the emergency vet out again to have it PTS

needless to say we dont go anywhere near the manse now!

When I was a kid, we lived next door to the estate's gamekeeper. He was out on a shoot with some very rich people one day when one of the guests dogs turned up with a cockerel in it's mouth. Jamie went nuts.... " that's the best cockerel I've every bred... you don't know what that bird means to me... blah, blah, blah" he was was eventually placated by a very generous donation by the mortified guest.
Hah, I know for a fact he hated that cockerel, and had been trying to run over it with his landrover for the past week. Cheeky bugger.
 
Ate a picnic, while taking part in a gundog scurry. He retrieved the first dummy, then headed to the fence, stuck his head through to make friends with the family sitting on the other side, and ate their lovely posh looking sandwiches off their posh wicker hamper! Followed by leaving the arena with the second dummy so he could hand deliver it to my mum (who was bent double laughing at us!:mad:)

We did not win, but we did get a very big round of applause:rolleyes:
 
Pea last week got her self in to trouble, by killing the squirrel the collage students where taking photos of,but in her defence they where feeding it, and it was to far from the tree,it still had the peanut in its teeth,:-P
 
We do B&B and one summer we had two foxhound pups who were a bit overdue to go back, they must have been 6 months old. They got out of their kennel and went hunting in the wood, including drawing a very muddy pond. They had a great time and were starving so then went to the guests dining room, which opened onto the garden and mugged the six people having breakfast. One climbed on the table, it was carnage. The guests were quite good about it, well they didn't speak English which helped! Pups were back to the kennels the same day.
 
Oh where to start . . .

Tilly - her party trick was to jump up onto the kitchen counter (being a lurcher she had springs in her feet) and EAT BUTTER . . .

Fred - escaped from his crate in our holiday cottage in Devon and ATE the windowsill of one of the upstairs windows (he was left behind b/c he had a broken leg and we thought he'd be fine in his crate) . . . tore a hole in the trousers of the nice municipal worker cutting grass near our house because he was operating a lawnmower . . .

Daisy - let's see . . . ate a) a priceless, beautifully bound version of one of my favourite books; b) my very expensive red Radley bag; c) a mini jewellery box also designer) bought for me by my best friend . . . the girl has expensive taste

P
 
Caesar, GSD about 11 months old ate our less than a year old 3 piece suite. In the space of 3 hours he had chewed into little pieces all the seat cushions.

It was a cheap and nasty sofa but it was the only sofa we had and we were at the time very poor!! Couldn't be mad at him though because he was wagging his tail like a mad thing when we came in and was so very pleased to see us! We had only been next door for drinks and we never heard a thing!!
 
Bunty, our six month old Border collie has just eaten my husbands glasses (£400) He needs them for work tomorrow, so far its only been shoes and rugs !!
 
I thought I would again add to this after my dogs went on the rampage yesterday.

So they were left alone for half an hour and a came home to.....
1 chair frame chewed (top corner, dogs are tiny, not exactly sure how this happened)
1 chewed table top
4 poos
6 wees
1 broken bottle of baileys (it was in a wine rack out of reach I can only imagine they have given eachother a leg up to get it out)
Contents of bottle of baileys missing and 1 extremely drunk french bulldog

I was less than amused, after following the little one round clearing up his projectile vomit and panicking that he was going to die all night, I can now see the funny side.

Just when I thought they couldnt get any worse, I dont think there should ever be a night where your dog is more drunk than you are!!!!;)
 
Our german pointer when we took her to the beach stole a childs ball popped it then slung the deflated football at their picnic spilling most of the drinks ... one angry woman had to pretend she wasnt my dog :p
