Feeding them if all goes south is a preoccupation of mine if the economy collapses. Fortunately mine are descended from southern farm dogs and can eat corn meal, eat muscadine grapes, and even some fresh milk without problems. I need to do a bit more of the survivalist prep such as things to grind grains and get a garden going. I have cleared some land this year expressively for a garden. I have many fruit trees, but a garden with root crops, beans, and corn is what will feed you. It got a lot of families through the depression and for the next coming depression most just have no idea of how to survive.
Mine are loving and loyal, but that breed does not like being told what to do. They generally were just let loose on the farm or yard, sleeping under the house and protecting the place.
Here is two of them. The all white is a typical white english of the larger type and her pup that has thrown back to some trace of likely hound ancestry. In past if people wanted a cattle dog they would cross a bulldog to a hound and I think they picked red tick hounds for that. His head is much bigger then what any hound would have. He kills any predator, but will not attack deer or snakes. That type of dog ranges from 45 to about 130 lbs depending on the breeding. They are going gradually extinct getting crossed with american bulldogs and pits. Just about gone from north florida, but they were around here in NW FL 30-40 years ago. Still can be found in south eastern alabama and south georgia.
