Re: Eating the corners of my couch & boxspring? Some lines mature slower than others and then again every dog is different. Crating is not a bad thing. Since the time of my Rotts, I have had American Bulldogs. My female was such a puppy that she wasnt allowed to stay out of her crate over night or during the day until she was about 30 months old. That seems crazy as far as AB breeders are concerned, but I knew that my girl came from a line that is slow to mature. I still have her crate in my bedroom and she still goes in it when we go to bed. I dont put her in the crate, she goes in it by herself. She has her blanket and her toys in there. ABs and Rotts are similar as far as being big and robust. She has to stay stimulated or yes she will become destructive. She is a beautiful girl, but is a mama's girl. |
