Picking a dog

[Skvez]

Any dog I would want in a survival situation needs to be well trained and unfortunately it can take a couple of years to get a pup trained (and takes time and effort on your part too).
I want a dog that barks when people approach my property but can also be ordered to keep silent when we're out hunting.

I'm in no hurry to get a survival dog, as I'm bugging in they're likely to be as much of a liability as an asset, require prepping a lot of food for and likely to become the neighbours most recent meal.
