Would the dog be worth all of the potential diseases and parasites she is due to get in a survival setting. I'm thinking Frontline is hard to come by and the amount of ticks, fleas and other lovelies might not be worth the hassle.
Weigh your options, if she is a hunter and is efficient and not over zealous in the kill I'd keep her. Dogs are pack animals and as such will follow the strongest in the pack. You start slacking she'll bolt on you to ensure her own survival. Give her a reason to stay (leash works pretty well) and she'll be beneficial. If you start to starve I can guarantee that she'll not be your starvin' Marvin buddy.
I personally have never encountered a situation were I'd have to eat something I have a connection to. I will confirm that dog is not that bad. I had a trip to Thailand and was told that my T-bone was indeed real. Bull$h!t....... I have good sized hands but....T-bones are not supposed to fit in the palm of your hand. Palm.....not including fingers. Also the meat was a little grey.
My basis for comparison......2000 acres and 200+ head of cattle. I know a little about the bovine persuasion.
