S H T F guard dog

[Tarrel]

The way I see it, my main priorities for a dog post-SHTF would be as an alarm in the event of intruders, and to do things like keeping rats down, protecting the chickens and maybe helping with rabbiting. So, I'd go for something small and easy to care for, such as a terrier of some kind.

My Labrador, lovable as he is, would be next to useless. However, he does have a good gruff bark!
