I got a jack russell, he is a clever dog. A big clever dog for protection/hunting is a good idea after TSHTF if you like dogs. Keep you warm too. Rottweilers, GSD's and Staffies are all my recommendations. They're not picky eaters so store a load of 15kg dry foods at 12-15 pounds each and your well stocked with a share of the hunt for them too. The previous post by bigpaul is a good idea and an option for me as i am good with dogs. Dogs will form packs around bitch on heat in urban areas.

Love my dogs both are capable of catching rabbit and squirrel . They have no fear and make fantastic guards ,they go forever and can be very intimidating either alone or together and most give them a wide birth.
They are part of our bug in and out plan a no matter what.

While I am the occasional beneficiary of the neighbor's Jack Russell and reward the little bugger for good deeds executed on my behalf, I have not owned dogs in years.
I must confess that like MB, the last time I acquired a dog it was in the form of Banh Mi with lemon grass, hot peppers and a San Miguel Cerveza Negra

Although i love dogs ........especially Spaniels imho the best gun dog ....after the last one had to be put down (Cocker Spaniel ) i could not go through that again.....the sil had to take her up to the vets while i was out ....like many here who owns a dog ....or any other pet...you really do get attached....in the normal scheme of things i would have just gone out and got another dog......but not this time ......might be an age thing.... but can't do it any more.....i hate goodbyes .
