I have to say mine have not destroyed anything even as puppies...one of mine did chew a speaker a bit but it wasn't ruined and it was my husbands fault he was in charge and went outside for a moment without putting the puppy in its cage...

Hi Ang, These dogs easily find thier way into our souls and make the best companions. You asked if getting a dog from a back yard breeder or a rescue would make your chances better the next go around. I got my last GSP from a very good long time breeder . She got an agressive colon cancer at age eight and survivved it just with surgery. Then got thyroid and had to have eye surgery when she was 12. I called her my 10,000 dollar dog. and I had no insurance. Ask me if Im scared and wondering if I should get insurance.or if Ill lose her to something like what you went through. Sheena died age 14 two hours after I picked her up from being borded while I was in the hospital for an agressive cancer. After being turned down by a rescue for a puppy a year and a half later and numerous people telling me Not to get a puppy I got one. Its the best thing I have ever done .I got my last one at age 4 months. I really missed out. I was afraid I would not get a personality plus GSP like My last girl. I have gotten lucky so far. my life is topsy turvey but thats okay. Its been 2.5 years and I never took her crate down. and i feel a little guilty about enjoying Hanna . Theres no words I can say to make it better . Just let the tears fall. Cyber hugs from Hannas other half

To build on what (been far east) wrote, you could also make a web page for her. http://www.hickoryspurfarm.com/My_Friend_Moon_1.htm Tell her life story. Oh well, that's all.

So sorry for your loss of Opie. Find peace in knowing you were the gracious one that rescued her and gave her a second chance on life....for that alone she would be forever grateful to you The GSP's have a way of getting to your heart right away and making a bond that lasts forever....even after we have to let them go....which is always too early I am glad you are thinking about getting another dog/puppy...not to replace Opie, but to not deny yourself the joy of living with another canine companion! I would not be afraid to get a puppy....just train and use obedience to minimize any damages. Let the puppy know what is acceptable to chew on (toys, balls, antlers, etc.) and teach it to " leave" what is not acceptable!!l
