Do you have some examples? We all know Shepherds aren't always perfect angels and can be pretty destructive, especially when they're growing up:

^ Yikes, that's a little more that a "dark side".

LOL have to agree on this one

 

[GSDGunner]

Gunner's never done anything THAT bad but he's been known to chew things he shouldn't.

I walked in the room, he looked at me and went right back to the task at hand...er paw.

Yep, went right for the jugular!

And I'm not sure this is considered a "dark side", after all he was trying to help me mop the yard!

This was a GSD puppy that was adopted from our rescue and returned because (surprise, surprise) "It was too destructive!". The people that first adopted this little angel did not believe in crate training because "it was so mean"...SIGH!

Oh goodness!! I would have a breakdown if i woke up to that!

Sadly, I don't have pictures, but when Addie was a puppy, and teething, she completely shredded her wadding pool. xD there are STILL slivers of blue plastic popping up in my back yard and this was 3 and a half years ago...

Dont have pictures but as a 2 to three year old Daisy ate a frozen chuck roast. I had it out defrosting went out for awhile think to get gas tocut the yard came home no roast . Found the roast wrapper. She took it downstairsfinished unwrapping it and then through the dog door outside.I guess she was telling me go raw but it was my raw . hubby had eggs for dinner when he got home from work.

Its okay.. She did not get the important things that were in that box.. it was old tax paperwork, some pictures and my lease and such.. I think my grandpa or maybe one of my late gsds looking out for those things for me... what ever happened, im glad she did not get my laminated grandfathers obituary.. someone was looking out for me for sure.. she mainly ate the box they were in...

Gunner doesn't have a dark side! Here he's just helping with some home redecorating; that mat color really clashed with his fur...

My only purebred GSD, Ditto, hasn't chewed anything up since she was 5 months old.
Dakota never chewed anything but newspapers and 1 flip flop. This was when he was under 4 months. He got into the garbage once when he was about 2 years old. I didn't take pictures but the garbage was everywhere.
Daisy is infamous for digging a million holes, chewing the dryer vent off the house, scratching the screen off the door, chewing the handle off the door. Her problems are all outside. I never take a picture when she is doing it, because I am busy correcting her. She hasn't destroyed anything in the house in well over a year and a half (thankfully) but still will take stuff off the top of the garbage.

1st day home, he peed on the carpet....not his fault...totally mine

2nd day home: he chewed on my mum's bedroom slippers....destroyed the fluffy little things...

needless to say, mum's not pleased...although he makes up for it when he runs around squeaking his garfield plushie when we get home

Wish I had a picture but..... growing up my family had a GSD. One evening my then boyfriend (now husband) and I went for a hike in the woods with the dog. We decided to grab something to eat so we left the dog in the car (a 2 seater with a small area in the back). When we came back the dog had torn apart the entire inside!! We rode home on metal springs. To make matters worse, the car was for sale and someone was coming to look at it the next evening!!!! It all worked out- found replacement parts at a junk yard and sold the car the next evening. That story still gets told 35 years later!!!
Stella, 7 months, has been working on shredding one area rug, and doesn't like toilet paper on the rolls...lol She will move my shoes around every day but so far has only "nibbled" on one pair.

i dont have any pictures from the Destruction Tornado that used to be Riley. Wish I'd gotten a picture of Zena wearing our trashcan lid with a wrapped stuck on one of her canines....

Shasta never got into any trouble. She's my little freak of landsharks...

Stella, what do you have against T.P.?
