That's still pretty young. My Belgian Malinois chewed things up for a surprisingly long time. He's about 3 years old now, and he seems to finally be done chewing things up.
Much as he loved my old Pointer who raised him, it might have actually helped when I lost her to cancer because now he gets all the attention.
I was pretty worried about what it'd do to him to lose her because it was rather inevitable since she was older than most Pointers live to be, but it worked out ok for the most part, and I try to borrow my neighbor's dogs ever 2 or 3 days so he'll still have dog friends around once in a while.
