2 hours to rest and get care in-between rounds. You have control of which dog (s) you send out and when. Not doing a poll for this.

McCallum Cowdog?

Glad you asked. A McCallum cowdog is one line of the “cowdog Border Collies” which are a step to making grittier and tougher Border Collies more close to Kelpies in that matter, rather than the sheepdog line Border Collies everyone knows. Border Collies bred more to work cattle than to work sheep. 

Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good Border Collie, even from sheepdog lines, but in the UK they HAVE to be careful with the sheep or they can sit there and fucking die. Not like cattle at all. So 

Now this is just one of the lines, one that Hardcastle met and Bolushi knows of but I can tell you a load more.

Why not just use Border Kelpies? I have one.

1. Badger is going to be obliterated.

2. Well when you have an ant in an ant colony tight-knit pack of the Dholes and compare them to dogs and wolves, you see their pack strategy is way more efficient in that regard. Smaller pack, i’d favor the dogs and bigger pack the dholes.

3. Not sure here. I believe the cowdog would have to go in to make the cougar see the dogs at just the right time, so the bulldog could have the right of way.

4. Dogs would harass this one for sure, can’t say fight to death at all.

5. No, unless a small leopard or they made the exact right decision while encountering this leopard.

It depends on preference, many ranchers will give you different reasons as to why they run x dog on their cattle.

Thought of that but figured that's a bit too small.

See, if it were a leopard it would be round one or two.

Musth Hardcastle
From a hunter's perspective how would you feel about putting this team of dogs against all these animals?

Even a Persian or Sri Lankan leop? But yeah my bad, it’s a jag. Jag skull bites the dog while hyena would stalemate it. Cougar could go either way. First two are for sure easy wins. Sorry for going in descending order.

*Edit: Oh wait, there’s two. They beat the cougar and probably the hyena as well.
Bolushi How much does a single McCallum bulldog weigh?
