One of my three rescue dogs got into my gated garden area and then into one of my rabbit hutches and killed three mature females. He just bit them until they stopped moving and then moved on to the next. I would have felt better if he had at least eaten them! Anyways, I learned how to raise and breed them but then got out of the rabbit business, it was an interesting experiment, but I learned that I just really don’t like the taste of rabbit. If shtf, I would learn to like it real fast, but for now I like more traditional domesticated meats. On the upside, my main chest freezer is loaded with turkeys, ham, chicken and sirloin steak, all bought while on sales. Life is good.
 
I don't see rabbits as a problem...SHTF and they are a excellent food source ,,,anytime for that fact

They are a good survival source, but when there are to many they are destructive and a danger to live stock, we have one breed that dig holes in the pasture endangering horses and cattle.

well as a hunter I don't see it that way,and their holes are rarely in the middle of a field mostly in fence rows and thickets ,,,,,,,,,,Groundhogs and armadillos are the ones that make the most holes and they will dig just about anywhere

Your lucky if they don't in the fields, our pastures are set by the season, one part of the land is fenced of to allow vegetation to grow (undisturbed for one year before transferring the cattle) this is when the rabbits take advantage and dig the holes.
 
While there are a (very) few exceptions, I believe that there are no bad dogs . . . only bad owners.

Really? During SHTF event a dog that refuses to stop barking is the fault of the owner, yes, the owner could have already eaten it. I have had great dogs, some okay dogs and one that I had to have put down because it could not be controlled. Same owner, same training, just different dogs. Just like people some good, some okay and some that need to be put down.
 
never met a bad dog yet, just bad owners.

Maybe you need to get out more. Two legged and four legged, good and bad, no difference. Except you can eat the four legged one without going to jail, in some countries.

dogs that don't bark much

haven't met a four legged one I couldn't get on with, the 2 legged kind I can do without.

The Pit bull I had to have put down, bit two people, one a child. Tried to bite a few family members and did try to bite me a few times. This dog would be fine one minute, tail wagging and in attack mode the next. I seriously doubt you would have gotten along with this dog. I also agree I mostly have trouble with the two legged kind.

Sorry you had to put your dog down. Now days when one bites anyone it’s usually a death sentence for the dog, and espechially when it’s a pit. I have two pits and they are both very loving dogs.

Yeah it was a definitely a low point. I have lost pets before (age, car accidents) but never had to hold one while it was being put down. I don't blame the breed, there was just something wrong with that dog. I have never had any of my other dogs attack but that one was completely unpredictable.

I have seen Pits that were nothing but big babies and I have seen them that were dangerous ,,,,,, the breed carry's a lot of baggage anything they do wrong is exploited by the media,I won't own one it's just not worth the risk to me
 
Pits , Rott's , German Shepard's you have to watch while they are growing up to see how they act around strangers . Doberman's are very smart but unpredictable . Chows have anger issues . Iv seen individuals from these breeds be big pets and some that would attract on sight . Iv seen Chows that would bite anyone including their owner .
 
a previous mother in law had a dangerous Collie, it would bite people who came onto the property especially people it didn't know, it was okay with me and wife no.2 because it had known us right from day 1, but after father in law died mother in law couldn't cope so we had to have it put to sleep.
