Which breed would survive the longest in the wild?

I think you also have to factor in the specific environment into which the dog would have to "survive." A Neufie or Lab left in an environment surrounded with water and fowl would survive quite well most likely. Though very "wolf-like" in many aspects, including her abililty to stalk and kill small prey, I know my Husky/shep would DIE if left in a a hot arid enviornment. She literally will dig a hole in the earth in the woods in the summer and climb in. Just tooooo hot! And our summers rarely get above 80 degrees! I think some breeds have had their natural traits and instincts almost completely bred out of them. The more "dog" left in the dog, the more likely to survive in the elements, I suppose!

The Akita would outlast them all. They are known to be able to survive on their own with no human interaction at all. They can live out their lives in wild no problem. They are the least removed domesticated dog from the wolf after all....

Wolf. What... they're dogs. Someone had to say it.

I agree with you on that German Shepherd's would last the longest. Looks like me that they are more closely related to wolf anyway.

Yeah even the backyard is a dangerous place to leave a Chihuahua alone.

The basenji would survive. It is a solitary hunter.

The Canaan dogs would survive since they were developed from semi feral dogs.

The folk who said that a dog needs a pack are right. Even a small dog could survive as a member of a group.

I am so weary after all the research, but I am positive that it would be ....Scooby Doo! Okay, not a breed, never mind 😋 🤗
