Strangely, this also counts for my Pomeranian.
Applies to most dogs in general. When they hit that teething phase everything is a chew toy.
I am trying to figure out how I avoided this. My dog joyously ANNIHILATES anything he is formally presented with, yet will not touch anything he has NOT been explicitly given. Been that way since puppyhood; I take no credit- I think I had to redirect / trade a shoe for a benebone / antler like twice. Lab Mastiff mix, otherwise dumb as a box of hammers.
Uncanny.
Now that I think about it, I need to review my split-elk-antler expenses- I may have simply bought my way out of the problem.
Was my dog supposed to grow out of this phase? She's 8 and still acts exactly like she did at 1...
OP thinks he's the first person to ever raise a dog from puppy to adult.
OP thinks there are people whose dogs must have buried their sense of humor in the back yard.
You okay, chuckles?
