My lab loves backpacking and hiking with me. He has his own saddle bag hiking pack and carries his own food, small blanket, and a couple bottles of water with a small collapsible dish. We backpack and camp regularly and he's an amazing companion.
Awesome same here My lab has her own backpack and carries her own supplies too and she loves it when we put the back back on she knows we're going to have a lot of fun❤🐕🦺🐾
In woods that may have bears, it's best to either keep your dog on a leash, or have a dog that stays close, and is 100% obedient. Dogs have a really bad habit of picking a fight with a bear, then when the game gets too rough, running back between you legs in fear.
That’s why borde collies are the perfect option. They’re very obedient dogs, highly intelligent, and cautious. They also have a low prey drive meaning that they will most likely back off in situations like this
Wolves and shepherds baby! Those 2 breeds and I have hiked thousands of miles be it in the woods, on the beach or frolick in the snow. I loved all my tour guides, they've served me well, and I miss them all 🐾❣
My heeler is 16 years old and she still loves to go hiking. I would put it number one because of their size. Also would like to have seen the McNabb and doby on the list
If it is in the herding family it will hike and protect you, they also know their way home better then most people. Glad to see blue heeler on the list mine is used to get moose off the trail and has chased a black bear away from me. Germanshepherd need to be on the list can't say enough good things. Both my dogs preference is winter hiking up mountains at night fun times, summer they don't enjoy the heat but they don't let me venture off alone either.
I completely disagree with beagles, at least for mine😂 she has her nose on the ground constantly and would probably get distracted and follow it instead of me.
The thing that makes a good hiking dog is: 1. Can jump atleast 4 feet 2. Tolerates hot and cold weather well 3. Can run 25-32 MPH 4. Can protect you from wild animals 5. Has a lot of energy
I have a BC and Cow Dawg mix. Started in the snow as a puppy in the Rockies. She’s off leash and excellent in the mountains. Tireless. Agile and fast. Leads back. We are usually off trail in the National Forest. Best dog ever.
Its not on here because most people shouldn’t own dogos they require experienced dog owners who can give them the exercise and training they need. Im sure they make great hiking companions, but most people cant handle them
SORRY, but for long hikes, aka, thruhikes of 4-6 months, Cattle dog all the way. The breed was literally bred because no other dog could hike across Australia so should be number one😜
@@pvnchos1478 believe it or not people buy those expensive ass breeds then surrender them to shelters because they can’t take care of them so you could actually adopt a full blood anything if you look hard enough.
My siberian husky and saarloos wolfdog love to hike for hours, never have problems with them , it all depends on the right bonding and exerciae with your dog
My favorite is Dalmatian and Labrador Retriever because they're very intelligent dogs and amazing dogs in the world amazing video thanks for this amazing information about hiking dogs
I love the hunting breeds in general. My beagle loves to go but loves to track down squirrels. I usually let him and he usually calms down pretty quickly
my lab heeler(blue heeler Australian cattle and lab mix) is the perfect dog for me in a way despite me not liking labs XD i wanna move to alaska when im 18 and do all sorts of stuff
You can't wear out an Australian Cattle Dog. Are they the best at anything? No. Can they do everything? Yes, the Swiss Army knife of dogs, or the Toyota Highlux Tacoma of dogs, not too big, not to small.... Wait, they are best #1 at biting...
Did you all know that many 🇺🇸 National Parks have Bark Ranger programs?! Soooo much fun to experience with you're best 🐕 friend! Look for Bark Rangers of the U.S. National Parks in the old facebook!
Hounds in general are good hikers, but you also forgot breeds like the Belgian Malenois, Doberman, German Shorthaired Pointer, English and Irish Setters, English Springer Spaniel, Pitbull, Dogo Argentino, and Rhodecian Ridgeback.
Should not be doberman, pritbull and dogo argentino and rhodesian due to short hair .they have stamina can walk for hours but nor for mountain hikking. Gsd is great for mountain hikking a do it a lot with mine.
Wow I cant believe the German shepherd Dog is not on this list. I guess the GSD is such a great dog you hate to put it on all most all your lists. I take mine with me 3 times a week hiking and he loves it, I hike for the exercise. Mine is a great companion while hiking plus he will hopefully protect me which most of the breeds you name are not known to do. If you are hiking in the woods or a forest like me, shouldn't you have one that will protect you? I am training mine in protection though and he is a czech bread GSD. My GSD doesn't chase deer or turkey's or other critters he sticks with me, and where I hike bears and coyote's and panthers have been sighted over the years so I deffently want one known to protect. But also one who can handle the long walks as well like a herding dog like the GSD.
not on here because it is a dog breed that requires more experienced dog owners. Malinois need a lot of training and exercise which most people arent going to give it
@@brilee4772 Same thing applies to huskies and malamutes. They can be... temperamental to say the least. They do tend to need more exercise than training though
Our first Great Pyrenees was great for hiking and backpacking. Our current GP doesn't have the same endurance levels. However, he does not like to be left at home when we go on a hike.
Ahh, a husky can run away and end up somewhere far away and it might be really difficult to find your dog (trackers are easily lost, so they are not that reliable, unfortunately). what about other breeds? are there any that won't get that crazy as to run-run-run-run no matter where until they are tired and lost?
