Comment to SURVIVAL DOG
-
its something i would like to do. I am not planning on doing it anytime soon. if ever. Gotta pay the bills ya know. its just a question. so what specific types of breeds or mixes do you think would do good? if you check the vid, that guy did it with one dog. and I dont know if that dog would be the best all around dog. obviously a all around type dog would be best, one that can hunt, guard, catch, use the nose. etc. Yeah the question was more based on what type of dog would you want to bring with you not what type of dog would survive. theres packs of feral dogs in my area and you can see proof of pariah type dogs being the best for survival because those are the ones that make it as they all have those features. I think some sort of cross would be best. I was thinking maybe a lurcher crossed with some kind of scent hound? catahoula? how good would a pariah type dog be for helping you? thai ridgeback maybe? I just thought to myself perhaps the best type dog for this situation would be something veral similiar to the feral dogs in my area but that would be more based off the dog simply surviving in the wild vs benefiting the human as these feral dogs are mostly scavengers although i do see them hunting sometimes. climate would need to be a dog that can handle both extremes, it doesnt snow but it does freeze, my dogs water bowls will freeze over in the morning. and it is regularly over 100 daily in the summer. I couldnt picture a spitz handling the summer heat.
