All my dogs have been outdoor dogs. I had one chocolate female that had to be put to sleep at 15 years old, one yellow that was stolen at 12 years old and she was still hunting. Slow, deaf but hunted.
Last one was a black male that died at 10 years old. He chewed and chewed and chewed anything me or my wife touched.
I installed a new transducer on my offshore boat, he chewed it up. Didn't know till I went offshore fishing.
He ate a 1/4" X 1" bolt I dropped on the ground. Gone before I could even think about bending over to pick it up.
He ate $600 worth of seats and all the trailer wires off my neighbors boat.
He could open any plastic bottle. Chew the cap off and drink what ever was inside.
He has drank a pint of Quicksilver outboard oil.
When I would Dove hunt and he was choking on feathers, I just dropped him a bottle of water. He would open it hold the bottle in his front legs and drink. I had a sports writer see that at a Dove hunt and I told him the dog didn't drink faucet water. Only Evian water. I was jerking his chain, but he put it in his newspaper report.
He would chew on bricks.
