He's loyal, listens to me, keeps me fit and is generally good natured. He, however, is extremely territorial and absolutely detests any one approaching the house, I feel certain he'd literally try and kill any one who entered the house whilst me or the wife were out, especially if they were dressed like a postman :oops: Tough he barks loud enough to scare most people away, handy at election times when the canvassers start nocking at the door.

He's good for my own psychology. I haven't made any special preps in terms of laying down food for him, he'll eat pretty much the same as us (rice, beans and spam) plus what ever i can forage, hunt and grow. Perhaps not the best diet but he'll live well enough.

He also makes for a fantastic hot water bottle on cold nights curled up on the sofa.

ah very nice, i grew up with a german Shepard. tough old thing, but soft as hell if he knew you.

maybe youll have to catch him a squirrel or two if shtf

My critters are part of my family and therefore are provided for in the preps.

My Springer Spaniel, "Dusty" (you can see where my user name comes from) is the biggest all mouth no action dog i have ever seen, but she is a great early warning system, she barks at the slightest thing & i could never even think of eating her. :D

I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
