Whats the best breed of dog to have in the upcoming doom, prepper situation?

[link to youtu.be (secure)]

really any ancient LGD(livestock guardian dog) will do . there independent yet loyal to there owner/family. Nocturnal traits most dont eat much and will eat small mice rats on the farm or etc and very smart and powerful..

Holy be Jesus never seen a dog that big!! Plus the chick interviewer makes me feel funny, like when I use to climb rope in gym class!

Thats a cutie, and not like the Netflix version!

Yes awesome dogs. Several folks have posted about them and I'm just learning about this breed . I guess Jon Snows Ghost is outta the question. Dang it!

5 star post, never pinned, not really doom just exploring our love for our furry brothers and sisters. But also their relevance in our survival if and when shtf scene is before us.

That is an awesome dog. Reminds me of my sons Great Pyrenees, so smart and acts very similar. Thanks

A big muscular dog is best. It can defend you, and if you get really hungry there's a lot of meat on it.

I would disagree, maybe having a viscious bark may help but I think the muscles would be too gamey. A run of the mill dog not too fat, not to buff would be best for crock pot and such...

Alot of folks on this thread have posted about the Belgian Malinois, which checks every box you posted!

Cmon, I don't wanna eat my dogs. Thats a last resort, like trapped in the Himalayas after a airplane crash type bullshit. What breed helps you survive!!

I thought you meant in a Chinese sort of way, just in case you get desperate.

Explain, what does that mean?

This thread was just attacked by the most vile and disgusting pix I've ever seen. geez. GLP is an internet treasure of free speech, but that attack was God awful ....support GLP and real debate and commentary!!

Big dogs will give you away to easily and make too much noise and are a real cunt to keep fed and if starving WILL eat you.

Nothing? No late commentary with opines?....?

No dog. If food is scarce, you'll probably eating your dogs.

I get what your saying, I don't have the most practical beasties, I'm still living in this world right now. There's lotsa story left to go, im just inquiring, thats all.

Im talking from survival experience

Sorry mate, I won't be eating my dogs, ..why? I know how to run trout lines, skin bucks and hunt. Hell, I'd eat squirrel before my dogs. Just inquiring to the different breeds that would help in an agrarian back woods kind of lifestyle...if and when society collapses.

If you have time to plan, probably the best dog would be a chow chow/Australian shepherd mix. Aussies are excellent at noticing anything out of the ordinary and have amazing recall (very important). They won’t wander away. They may be barkers or fairly quiet (it depends on the individual dog). While they love a lot of exercise, and have great stamina, many are also content to snuggle with their owners on the couch if need be. As a bonus, they’re great dogs to help you relax- they’ll happily fetch and do all manner of activity with you. They also tend to eat whatever’s available- including fruit and vegetable scraps, so not terribly hard to feed (and medium sized to begin with). The downside is that many are actually quite cowardly when they perceive a threat and, as mentioned, they may bark. Chows are great at guarding, fearless, and typically very quiet, but they don’t have good recall, and can be inappropriate for children/feeble family members. Combining a chow and Australian shepherd with the best traits of each, should result in puppies that are vigilant, companionable, confident, and quiet with good recall and a medium appetite. As a bonus, both breeds house real quite easily. You’ll just want a serious broom and dustpan in your preps

A mixed breed is the hardiest dog in Africa

The most intelligent, versatile and strongest genes imo

The higher the pedigree the more flaws through inbreeding, just look at the royal family

A cross between a German shepherd and just about anything else makes for the most faithful companion in shtf times.

Interesting. Thanks for that. I've had interactions with a chow chow but not the Aussie sheppard and never a mix.

I would agree to a certain extent. Here in America, we just call them mutts. However sometimes these mutts are the very best!

I think your right just depends on the extent of inbreeding.

That's how they are in the wild. They live underground in like prairie dogs in colonies and when something walks near enough for them to detect, they pour out of their lairs and attack. They're the land version of piranhas. Notice their huge ears/eyes and how quivery sensitive they are, oh and vicious.

None. One or two less mouths to feed. Get a tape of dogs barking and growling that runs off a trip wire if someone enters your space, much cheaper.
