yall can have your dogs for "wilderness surviving"....you bring a 40lb dog thats gonna need fed, i'll take a pair of good boots and 40 lbs of clean socks instead. shit goes downhill fast when your feet arent warm and dry.

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

I pretty much agree,in a real SHTF survival situation,an extra mouth to feed would only be another problem.

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

Swallow some parasites or contract malaria an you gotta whole new problem, no food will stay down no matter how much you eat !

Even if you decide to eat the dog, leave alone feeding him !

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

ppl that are saying lurchers idk how they would do on small game in heavily wooded forest, and they have some real fragile bodys idont think they would be a good choice one bit. i nice patt would probly be my choice cause id eat vermin all day and hed only need 3% of my food

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

id*. if there was serious danger id climb a tree and pull that little guy up by his collar. no way im getting a 60 lb corso in a tree.

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

what if u had to climb some sort of rock face? guess your leaving ur big mastiff down there. sorry for the multiple comments, i just keep thinking about it

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

A 60 pound corso puppy you mean right? lol

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

i was gunan say 60 lb pit then went to corso, didnt change weight

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

Yeah because Corsos are much bigger than that.

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

just outta curiosity, how many of you are picking large mastiff type breeds for protection?

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

I wouldn't pick anything over 60 pounds. I'd stick with a field Alano, Bull Lurcher, or possibly one of those fuzzy bear dogs lol

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

A nice 25lb-30lb Whippet would be awesome. Or a WhippetXterrier. Either one wouldnt take very much feed, and would be quick enough to catch some critters for you two to share.

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

smart thinking, a little pat or jagd would do a good job

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

In a survival situation I'd rather have 5 pounds of .22 ammo as 40 pounds of dog,but if I did choose a dog it would be a small one.

 

Re: What would you pick for a "wilderness survival dog?

Ill take a parrterdale mix with pit and coon hound lol
On the real 22 rifle with amo, 5lb of rice and beans, 35lb pitbull, 75' rope
