I love how these dog fanatics live in a fantasy world where domestic dogs are significant predators of any sort in ecosystems dominated by other mammalian predators - especially one inhabited by large, powerful felines, for example tigers.

Indian predator hierarchy: human brown bear Bengal tiger Asiatic lion pack of bully kutta Himalayan black bear sloth bear Indian leopard snow leopard Malayan sun bear a bully kutta striped hyena clouded leopard Eurasian lynx dhole Indian wolf golden jackal smaller carnivores Yes, tigers, lions, and brown bears can kill even packs of any dogs, but they will dominate anything smaller in packs.

They could survive, that's for sure. |

a wild dog pack will overpower them. they will tree a leopard. it's too risky to get a bite on the leg even if he killed servel of them but a leopardess defending the young will kill them anytime. a tiger is too much. so as a big male leopard you messed it up. sloth bears don't hunt thats my list without humans tiger asiatic lions-leopard snow leopard brown bear dholes indian wolves BULLY KUTTAS striped hyena clouded leopard lynx jackal and all the others Edited by LeopardNimr, Dec 16 2016, 10:52 PM.

There are lots of reasons they wouldn't do well, but being killed because they're vulnerable and weak wouldn't be one of them. They're big bold strong aggressive dogs and in a pack would actually intimidate most predators into avoidance. They could bully leopards off kills very easily, even single bully kuttas could the same way spotted hyenas do, let alone a pack. However they have to find the kill site first, they're not built to cover vast distances, not just as in long distance running but also the work ethic to spend hours searching, a lot of "high octane" performance dogs are especially lazy. Greyhounds for example sleep or at least rest about 22 hours a day. There's a reason the majority of feral dogs are of a certain type, they're lightly built small cunning workers. All those scabby street dogs in India are actually perfectly adapted predators to their specific wild niche. Dog breeds that seem to have a propensity to succeed as feral dogs are not great hunters or great fighters but hard workers. Collies, heelers, herders... Smart dogs that are driven "go getters", dogs that get bored being pets and need stimulation all day. They can adapt to wild survival because its first and foremost hard work. If it was just kicking butt here and there the bk would be fine, but it isn't. The closest I've heard to a wild bk would be the odd feral dog shot in Australia that is clearly from a boardog background. Australia has a lot of feral dogs and like the rest of the world most are 30-40 lbs, but some are more than double that (45 kg female recently shot at Thanes creek qld) and look like boardogs (a little like racier bks), no doubt descend from boardogs and must have some success actively hunting larger prey. I think these dogs are really pushing the boundaries of how much success domestic dogs can have as wild predators, and it's worth noting they have zero competition, lots of prey, and also at least descend from working hunting dogs and although large aren't obscenely monstrously large like bks, just average wolf size, lean and built to move. The bks heavy bones are just like trying to drag weights behind you in a marathon, a huge hindrance for wild survival as a dog. Then you can talk about it's mindset and lack of wilderness smarts and the list goes on. If they see another predator I'm sure they'll likely chase it off, but most of the time they'll just be alone, confused, hungry and tired. |

Well it's not rocket science, I've seen it. They walk or jog towards the leopard as it stands over it's kill and then the leopard runs away. I think this is one wilderness skill the bk just inherently has mastered. |

only hyenas can do this they have some long necks and they can knock the leopard with defending their throat but an angry leopard will just knock over the hyena to the ground killing it a dog is way easier people really like to jerk off on those dogs. they aren't top dogs in anyway and they won't kill any leopard or tiger. a human can win a dog and a leopard will kill a human rather easily for me the right german shepherd is the right choice a bull kutta tosa inu kangal and whatever aren't really the best dogs they just look cool. |

Leopards run away from hyenas without any fight or contact taking place whatsoever, the hyena just walks over to start eating the leopards kill and by the time it gets there the leopard is gone. They would definitely do the same for a dog of a similar height and size that's even more confident and aggressive. For the record I don't think the bully Kutta is special at all, no breed is, it doesn't need to be to intimidate a leopard off it's kill. It's gotta be the easiest little part of this hypothetical wild life, literally it's the one thing the bk can do, it will be awful at every other aspect of wild survival, and there are many. You think German shepherds are the right choice, I already mentioned herders as a better choice in my last post. The dog types that most readily succeed as feral - herders, heelers, collies, spitz breeds. This shows that wild survival isn't about being the best fighter or best hunter, intelligence and judgement in a versatile frame with high long lasting energy is what works.

Prolly pretty low. They're overspecialized for combat, and wouldn't last long out in the wild. I see them picking fights with tigers and bears and the like, and getting killed for their trouble. |

Don't BKs have problems involving all of the wrinkly skin that they have on their faces; potentially leading to facial infections that could inhibit their ability to look for prey |

There's literally DOZENS of videos on this site alone, not to mention YouTube, that show male leopards easily fighting off a hyena who tries to take their kill. My god, kid...really? |

top predators of india first to last no humans! Bengal tiger-asiatic lions:kill sambar often and even water buffalos also they can win over any other predator except when a female lion-tiger encounter a big male leopard they will loose to him indian leopard:it is smaller,but kill all the prey the big boys eat (yet rarely on water buffalos) brown bear:he is brown,and he is a bear snow leopard:he is impressive,yet don't kill yaks, if they would they will be ranked with the leopard but they are impressive IMO sloth and black bears dhole striped hyena CL indian wolf one bully kutta won't win over a striped hyean so he will be below him a pack won't beat wolves or dholes and bears of all types will crush them |

Not really, full grown ( healthy ) tigresses and lionesses are still much heavier than the leopard, the leopard having no advantages over it or whatsoever. An account: "During the next 11 months, when the resident female was not replaced, a large male leopard intermittently used the area. In January 1988 his 4-5 day old remains were discovered in a patch of partially burnt grass. Canine punctures at the nape of the neck, the vertebrate of which were shattered, as well as wounds on the back left no doubt that he had been killed by a tiger, most probably an adult female." ![]() |

a 100 kg leopard vs average 120 kg lioness /tigeress me go with the leopard! but indian leopards are 50 kg sooooooo.... also you ar account is with a female leopard female leopards from india are 40 or less on average the largest leopard caught in india was 110 kg i would favor him over larger female panthera even 130 kg yet a 130 kg jaguar will kill him it is more agile and a bit more agressive it won't be killed that easy a 50 kg leopard vs asiatic lioness is 70% of the time an almost dead lioness Edited by LeopardNimr, Feb 11 2017, 12:06 AM.
