Blackdogs Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 You're stranded on a deserted island, with no way off. Which breed would you choose to help you survive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineth Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 A Whippet! Because they should be able to help you hunt, but they are also small enough that finding enough food for them should be possible and they would be good to snuggle with on cold nights, but should also cope reasonably well with the heat (maybe? I'm not actually 100% sure about that one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdogs Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm going with an Azawakh for food and protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'll go with a desert sighthound too, Saluki. Big enough to cuddle for some warmth on cold desert nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yep, sighthound here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdie Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Another vote for Saluki or Wolfhound or Deerhound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdashdot Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 My dallies are pretty good at hunting little things (looking at you Cleo) and then looking very guilty and letting me take the "prize" away. Also pretty good at warning any potential scary things away. Got great stamina too, so if physical exertion was required, I could rely on their energy!

Yonjuro Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 My husky can catch birds out of the air, just gotta work out how to convince him to hand it over :D Can also knit clothes out of the undercoat :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if Zig caught something tasty he would do zoomies and cracker dog until it was torn into a thousand pieces :laugh: And he'd complain about the heat. And the cold. And the abscence of thick, soft bedding heh heh. At least Em would deliver to hand anything she caught and sleep on a bed of nails if necessary :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah82 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm going to go with this guy, he's not the best example of the breed he most closely resembles so I haven't chosen an actual breed. He's bigger than an average cocker so great for cuddles to keep warm at night. His long fur will stay wet for longer to keep him cool during the hot days and providing you have a knife you can trim it regularly for more bedding. He has a great nose for food and wants to be with you all the time so is less likely to leave you to fend for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Bull breed - at least I will have someone to play with until I die of starvation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaznHotAussies Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I think I'd like my Aussie to keep me warm & safe, he might even surprise me with a bird or a rabbit to eat. If anything it's impossible to be sad with him around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denali Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I'd have to go with a GSD i think. They're super cuddly, loyal and protective. And size wise ideal I think. We had one who would catch birds growing up, so i am sure they could all do it. But best of all their eyes are so expressive and intelligent seeming i wont go crazy from the isolation, because its pretty much like talking to a human anyway :D fix spelling Edited November 5, 2014 by denali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyKay Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I would take my Brittany. She is an awesome hunting dog, yet small enough she wouldn't need too much to eat. She is fast and agile. She is also warm and snuggly so I would not get lonely and she is very suspicious so would let me know if there were any strangers or anything like that. I would actually prefer the company of my border collies but they would pretty much just expect me to take charge and look after them. Scout would be useful :) My ninja dog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
