[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 341136, member: 4191"] Dogs are unique to themselves. I had a half Lab, half German Shorthair. She was terribly afraid of bears and moose. I kept her on a run in our back yard and she must have had some bad encounters. We have bears and moose through our yard on a fairly common basis. She could be good to have along because I could tell by observing her - when she'd start freaking out - that trouble was near. I took her black bear hunting with me, only once. While I was trying to get prepared to shoot a bear at about 300 yds my dog caught the bears scent and I had to spend 5 minutes leashing her to an alder bush so she wouldn't jump off the cliff in a panic and commit suicide. I eventually got the bear, but it took a lot more work than would have otherwise been necessary. The bear had originally been in a nice easy location to recover. By the time I caught up with it and shot it, it rolled down and out onto a remnant snow field covering a mountain creek, down through a hole in the snow field, and then washed down into and under an ice field bridge which spanned the creek. It was dangerous and miserable recovering the bear. Last time I took my dog bear hunting. [/QUOTE]
