Don't be fooled by the pics MR_Jungle_Mist posted above. That pup, too, had separation anxiety. We knew that when we got him, because his mom died when he was born, and then 4 of the 6 pups died because the owner couldn't keep up with the bottle feedings....so the 2 remaining pups had to go to foster homes with no littermates. I have a soft spot for "special needs" animals (which explains why I married Jungle LOLOL), so Moose came to live with us. To date, he's eaten 3 floors (including the subfloor in one room), 2 couches, a coffee table, and a door. He WAS crate trained as a pup....unfortunately, he was also escape trained by Harry Houdini, because he can get out of almost anything.
Fortunately, he outgrew most of the destructiveness after he settled in here. To be on the safe side, I'm waiting until he's 2 years old to get new furniture, but I think we're past the worst of it.
By the way, I still vote for the Boxer pup, especially if you don't have any other dogs.
