if she's ripped stuff up, boredom is a most likely factor 
Get a dog pen, you can fence her in one room and limit any damage.

Having three 15 pound terriers & a busy house I totally agree with this.

I'm sorry but this naffs me off, rather than properly deal with it, there are big thoughts about getting rid of her 
Please don't let her become one of the 1000's of dogs, that end up in shelters. If needs be and the weather is decent, get a dog house in the garden and leave her out to play, as long as it's not cold and she has food, water and shelter, she will do fine. Or invest in a big dog cage, like suggested above, or in a room with a baby gate in the door ways.

Thats the problem people are having though biokid.
We know you're 15, and alot of the remarks make you sound like...well.... a 15 year old who has many priorities placed above the responsibility of owning a dog (And I mean owning a dog from ALL angles).
So you say things like 'gimmie a break I'm only 15', but then you were saying you wanted to breed your dog, and that you wont spay her for that reason. Yet you struggle to cope even with her first season (if she hasn't done it before, chances are she destroyed the door trying to get out to go and find a male), so we're all well aware you would be way out of your depth with a litter of pups.
If you want to be treated like a 15 year old then fine... but don't try to make out you're then capable/financially stable enough to raise a litter. If you want to be treated like a mature responsible adult/young person and keep a dog unspayed with respect to breeding her. Then don't come on here a few days later saying 'Oh give me a break I'm only young', 'We might be getting rid of her anyways', 'Oh I don't know what to do about her bleeding', 'Oh I can't cope with her on walks'.
Imagine everyone on here had got 100% behind the idea of you breeding her without listing any of the potential problems... imagine you'd gone straight out and mated her. Right now we'd probably be talking about a pregnant dog who's future at home is un-certain.
Another point... if you did sell/re-home her, please re-home her spayed. Good intentions about breeding or not... not everyone has even the sense to ask questions... and some people don't care about the health of the dog. Selling an un-spayed female could result in that female becoming a puppy factory... either for monetary gain... or because someone else couldn't be bothered to neuter their male.

well ur right but here is how it is now.she is almost dont with her period..it wasnt even different as before except i had to clean blood..she doesnt try to look for males maybe she broke the door because it was to dark we never left her alone at nite.
not spaying her because im not sure if we r or not gonna breed her(ill be older then ok ill have more responsibilities on my hands but i will be more wise about my decisions)it might not end up breeding her oh well i can deal with that but we might..sum ppl have to choose between that sumtimes and i am one of them..a couple of my friends r too..a pomeranian female..a poodle/labrador mix(beautiful dog!!) female and they all gone thru their period and they r debating on it too..with the famliles!

Hey there,
just read through this topic and I hope you don't mind me adding a little advice/personal experience to the great advice you've already been given.
Dogs destroying things at a young age is really common. I think it mostly happens when they're teething, but it can be because of boredom, or it can just be naughtiness
All our dogs have done things at some point- to run down this list:
1. First dog: German Shepherd, used to chew on the brick walls
2. First *****: Labrador x Colly, shredded a new carpet and the underlay.
3. Second *****: German Shepherd, chewed through a radiator pipe and flooded our down stairs hall. Also chewed wooden banister and skirting boards.
4. Third *****: German Shepherd X Colly, she's a rescue dog and was awfully abused and eventually was left to starve to death before she was rescued. It took us 2 and a half years to sort out her separation anxiety- she would mess every single time we left the house, even if it was just for a couple of minutes. She also still occasionally steals food.
5. Second dog: German Shepherd. Codie is about as old as your girl and is another rescue, and you've been rather lucky so far by the sounds of it! Codie has destroyed a grand total of: 1 internet router, 2 house phones, several pairs of shoes, several pairs of socks and underwear, the spare bedroom mattress, new wall paper in several places, chewed my parents door, shredded the bottom of their curtains, my mums camera printer. The list goes on.
Codie was dumped in a pound and was due to be put down on Christmas eve. We now believe that this was down to how destructive he can be (he seems to be growing out of it now, touch wood), and it's just something you've got to bare with. Take your lass for as many walks a day as you can, tire her out as much as possible and this should reduce the amount of damage she causes if it's boredom that's causing it.
As to training, the best way to do this is make it as fun as possible for her. And repeat everything. And make sure you enjoy it too! I know your 15, but training has always been a favourite part of keeping dogs of mine. At 12 years old, I trained my lab X colly to sit, stay, heel on lead, heel off lead, close the door, jump through hoops, high five, roll over and close the door. Anyone can do it, you just need patience Start off by training the essentials: sit, stay, leave/give, and very, very importantly come. Find out what her favourite treat is, and use that to bribe her into doing what you want. Once she does it every time for a treat, start getting her to do and with hold food and just give her praise instead. Dogs usually are really willing to learn and love to please their humans because of the amount of fuss they get when they do something right
As to spaying and neutering, I'm not going to add much more on to this as everything has been pretty much covered and it's obviously a topic that people (including myself) are very passionate about. I only want to add that not spaying your ***** can actually result in her getting cancer of her womb, mammary cancer or an infected womb. This is much more common than you realise and it's a real danger, and your dog doesn't even have to be old for this to happen. You're likely to loose your dog if she contracts any of these. Having her spayed will significantly reduce the risk of her getting mammary cancer and will totally prevent her from getting cancer of the womb/infected womb. That's all I'm going to say
I hope this crazy long post helps you in some way or gives you some ideas Good luck with your girl- everyone deserves a dog as a companion, you just need the patience and devotion
