Thinking of bringing home a dog? You might want to put away your throw pillows first. While all dogs can get a little wild, some breeds take destruction to an art form—especially when bored or left alone. Chewed shoes, shredded couches, mysterious holes in your yard… Sound familiar? Let’s meet the top five dog breeds known for their enthusiastic remodeling skills.
1. Siberian Husky: Interior Designer of Chaos
These gorgeous snow dogs have endless energy and a love for howling, digging, and chewing—especially if left alone too long. They don’t just move furniture; they destroy it with flair. Exercise and mental stimulation are essential.
2. Labrador Retriever: Chewer Extraordinaire
Surprised? Labs are lovable, but when young, their powerful jaws will turn your slippers, remotes, and furniture into chew toys. They mellow with age, but until then, stock up on tough chewables.
3. Jack Russell Terrier: Small Body, Big Wreckage
Tiny but fierce, Jack Russells are bursting with energy and curiosity. If they’re not mentally stimulated, they’ll make their own fun—usually by ripping apart anything they can find. Don’t let their size fool you!
4. Border Collie: Smart Enough to Get Into Trouble
With IQs higher than most toddlers, Border Collies need a job. Without one, they’ll invent their own missions: digging holes, herding furniture, or dismantling your trash. They’re geniuses… of destruction.
5. Beagle: Destruction with a Side of Sass
Those soulful eyes hide a mischievous streak. Beagles follow their nose—and it often leads to overturned bins, raided pantries, or scratched-up doors. They’re stubborn, smart, and love testing limits.
