What breed of dog would be best for mountain hunting? Mainly goat hunting, must be a medium size dog.

Heeler's have always been my choice small to medium and can pack half there body weight and there protective of there owners to so make good bear bait.

more than the type of dog, more important is to train it well.

Looks like they worked well for you. Thanks

Tibetan Mastiff is an incredible mtn dog. Look for the Do kyi and not Tsang kyi bloodlines. The Do Kyis are horse dogs. The good males average 120 lbs and can go anywhere with a good load.

Unfortunately our stud dog was poisoned this year. I have another boy coming in. Alas; 2 more years of training till he'll pack my sheep gear. Back to 50 lbs instead of 25.
