YO JACK , THIS MY FIRST TIME TRYING THE PONCHO STUFF AND THEY ARE JUST FUCK UPS. CHEWS, AND BREAKS EVERYTHING LOL. is this the typical poncho dog?
When you use the word "they" you're implying that "they're ALL like X" ... and reality just doesn't work out that way
The truth is, I have bred hundreds of different dogs (if not at least a couple thousand) over the years, and you might be surprised to learn "they're not all alike"
I will say this, however, MOST of my BEST dogs were either rock-calm or the polar opposite: super-intense. Of the super-intense dogs, yes, they can be destructive, but they're not fuck-ups ... what it is, is that they have HUGE EGOS ... they're extremely intelligent, extremely intense, and they demand attention. Sitting around all day on a chain isn't what they want to do ... they want to work and they want to be with you
I have found that the biggest "fuck ups" outside are actually the calmest and best dogs inside ... but if they don't get the attention they demand, then yes, many will destroy everything in sight.

i keep a rather small yard so they are all walked once a day. have not even had her a week yet. she chews on bowls, barrells, so i put her inside in the crate while weather was bad and this little mofo chewed the cage in less that an hour. she is still a pup and full of energy.
LMAO, how is she bred?
My little Icon dog was like that ... lost all his teeth by 6 months ... constantly dug holes and attacked rocks all day long ... and yet, even with no teeth, was one of the baddest ear dogs I've ever owned/seen in my life.
This was confirmed by the owner of 2 of the best ear dogs that ever lived (Ch Robert T 9xW, and Ch Robert T Jr. 4xW), who called Icon "Baby Robert T" ...
Even without his teeth, the opponent would lose all the hair around their ear (from the top of the head to the jaw muscle) after being with him ... on both sides of their head ... and their ear canals would swell shut to where you could barely get your pinky finger in there

Here are the aftermath photos (maybe a week later) of a dog that Icon got ahold of on the head:
Keep in mind, this was from a dog in Icon, with literally nothing left of his teeth
But BOY, once he glopped-onto your ear & took the whole side of the head ... he could control any dog for as long as he wanted to.
Truly, he was lightning fast, could spot you weight, and never got tired. He could really pitch a shut-out, and against some pretty good dogs to boot.
Sure do miss him.
Jack
That's crazy. I wouldn't have believed it til you posted the pics lol.
LMAO, he didn't just grab the ear ... he'd grab the whole side of the head ... from the center up top to under the jaw ... and he would hold it like a (ahem) VISE
He was a true Vise-Grip dog, and perhaps the baddest pure ear dog I have ever seen. I know that's not a popular style with all these guys who like "killers" (lol) ... but Icon would make a killer look like a clown ... and would pitch a 100% shutout against some pretty damned good dogs.
I mean, when the owner of two of the best head/ear dogs to ever live (the 2 Ch Robert Ts) calls your dog "Baby Robert T ... when he was super-critical on most people's $#!^ ... you have to figure Icon was a pretty impressive lil' head dog
