Would Your Dogs Survive In The Wild?

[the_stig 6,614]

got an old russell bitch here i`m sure she would survive dont know if any of my others have the brains ....this old bitch worked out years ago that pigeons that came in the orchard would walk away instead of flying so she used to herd then into the corner close to the fence under the apple tree once under there they could`nt fly up -- accounted for a fair few -- terrific marker and not a fussy eater eats apples out the orchard -- she`ll eat blackberries off the bush and even raided my tomato and strawberry plants last year

if it was totally in the wild,and they stayed injury free,cant see why they couldnt survive.thing is most get hit by cars or found.

Wouldn't last long if i found it in beside my pheasants............

Going by your fox snaring exploits my money would be on the dog :laugh:

 

The pish that gets blethered on here sometimes is unreal without you jumping on the band wagon...............that fox, along with its mate and cubs was delt with....

 

and how much did they cost you before you caught them :laugh:

Nope......they'd be stuck in the kennel....

yeah mine too lol.

 

What makes me ask is a mates boss has a littles springer bitch that pretty much lives wild all summer,they have loads of land and it disappears for 4-5 days at a time.[/quote funny u say that me and a friends were talking about one of he's old springers on Sunday it used too run away every now and then for a couple of days at a time he gave up looking for it cos it came back after a couple of days and it was always running off was not till one day it had been missing for 3 days he found it eating a deer carcus don't ask how it found them or killed them cos we have no idea but the dog would of ran off at least 50 times in its life he found it eating pheasants ducks and a hare in its life time only thing was it would never put a single tear or tooth wrong with shot game

[neems 2,406]

This bitch is apparently a good worker,but take her out for a walk when the crops cut and she'll eat her body weight in rats lol

There was a greyhound that survived around here for years when I was a kid, come to think of it there's was always dogs that pritty much looked after themselves

anywhere nr melton mowbary????

Mine would be ok, they'd just go from bin to bin

 

On a serious note, I think the hound would be hard pressed. She would do a lot of chasing, and not much catching, and would need to rely on carrion.

 

If the whippet could get over the heartbreak of losing my radiant company, he would survive just fine, I have no doubt. He is a a thief, never stops hunting and will eat anything.

does the whippet do ok in the wet and cold?

I done some survival training late last year and one of the lads on the course brought his lurcher and it didn't like the cold at all,ended up sleeping in the car on the last night.

The terrier would be dead within a relatively short period of time, apart from her age shes been spoilt and protected her whole life... The collie is a survivor and has survived harsh winters found her asleep on the lawn the morning after a snowstorm... Didnt see her until she lifted her head from under the snow... Shes a scavenger not much of a hunter but her dam killed and ate everything from frogs to hedgehogs, kittens and rabbits so id say if shes anything like her dam she'll adapt in a survival situation... As for the lurcher he would be on with a 50/50 chance of survival as long as he avoids serious injury He'd catch his own food no problem but is a coward and lacks street smarts... If he was part of a pack he would have better odds as hes a follower not a leader
