Dog attacks

that is an interesting point (that and the picture above your post)

if you get big wild dogs you got wolves?
they hunt and kill in packs

if you get big wild cats you got mountain lions
they are solitary hunters

i couldnt find any real numbers on how they compare, both in numbers and fatal attacks, but i would rather tangle with a wolf then a mountain lion

We have had three 50/50 wolf breeds in my family growing up. Very interesting animals. Had to put onw down after it attacked and killed another pet in the neighborhood. My brother had three huskies, sled dogs. Treated amazingly well. Went home one night to what looked like a blood bath. The leader (pack) got a hold of a pet from next door... it was bad. Put all three down.

You might want to look up the current wolf population (google Minnesota wolf hunt) and re-think your statement :), lol. A 200 lb wolf is no joke.

Couple of years ago on CO, a guy survived a "juvenile" mountain lion attack it was reported to be 75-80 lbs... he strangled it but it shredded him up pretty bad.
