[NAGDU] Crosses

[Tracy Carcione]

Krokus is a lab/golden cross.  He was quite young when I got him, and did
his best to chew up as many of my possessions as he could.  If I tried to
put things out of his reach, he'd find something to climb on to get at
stuff. I was *not happy.
I just talked to a friend who recently got a cross and is having a very
similar problem.  Is this a cross thing?
Krokus is my seventh guide dog, and I never had such a chewer before, but
I never had a cross before, either.  It's really not something I want to
deal with.  He eventually grew out of it, mostly, but getting to this
stage was not fun.  Well, great fun for him, none for me.
If it's a cross thing, I'll say next time I don't want one, even if I have
to wait, as there are so many of the crosses now.
