General custer

[Carraghs Gem 1,675]

I was reading in an american staghound book about general custer, he hunted with his favourite deerhound tuck as well as other longdogs... Does anyone know any further details? It is recorded in history that his dogs followed him into battle although no-one knows if they survived...

just been thinking of those indians.clever race of people,and if anyone worked hand in hand with the land and nature it was them.they certainly got the shit end of the stick though.quite shamefull how they were treated.

Lol met a Korean here last year, me and these Aussie blokes got him pissed and I swear we had him believing in England we ate shoodles (Sheep - Poodle hybrids)

 

Back to the topic bet the dogs they had in them days didn't last long if they weren't up to the job in battle

He kept them for hunting... it would appear the general was a keen coursing enthusiast and imported some of his deerhounds from the uk

Aye I know, I was pondering the battle scenario.

 

I can't see any dogs lasting a long time as full on war dogs, say in Roman times with hand to hand combat being the norm if they weren't up to the job they'd be skewered, let alone in more recent times with firearms being the flavour of the day reckon they get a slug in every battle they entered not saying they wouldn't take a few "injuns" with them mind .
