Im just curious as a dog lover , how many of you guys will be using your dogs in your plans , either in a bug in scenario , using the dogs as deterrents against looters , or in a retreat scenario where you dog actually plays a part in your hunting activities .
Also what particular training your dog has had to benifit you.

Re: Dogs.
Dog is currently use for both. He is our beloved house pet but a great ratting dog for when out on the farms shooting. He is also quite skittish in the house and will sound off at any sign of something he doesn't like. Exactly what we need in a dog.

Re: Dogs.
I will be keeping both Labradors. The brown one will be employed solely as a trip hazard for any would be intruder. The black one, well, this season he's ahead of me in the pheasant league table. He's faster than 32g of No5.
I recently experienced Plymouth City centre so that's why I prep.

Re: Dogs.
Our dog "figures"...in that he's part of the family and so our prepping supplies and BOB contents include for his needs. Would like to think that he looks mean enough to deter would-be intruder/looter/attacker...but in practice he too would probably be no more use than a trip hazard lol.
Re: Dogs.
Heres my little man at 11 months old , i,m just 6 foot ... he is now two years old and quite a bit bigger and fatter ,,, he too is a trip hazzard for intruders because wherever he gets comfortable , he leaves a pool of dross 
Though i reckon he would excel at rabbiting .

Re: Dogs.
I have a German Shepherd who couldn't be described as a hunting dog by any stretch of the imagination. He does like to chase rabbits and he is successful every now and then though there would be absolutely no chance of getting the rabbit off him as he'd just run in circles around me thinking it was part of a game.
He's magnificent at keeping people out of the garden and you can literally see fear on the faces of cold callers when I open the door whilst holding his collar, he barks and genuinely looks like he wants to kill, he's very territorial.
Don't underestimate the psychological advantages of having your best friend around, especially if you're on your own. They can lift the spirit, give you "someone" to talk to and act as hot water bottle.
He's my best friend.
