I'm looking for some input from those dog owners who have backpacked with their dogs. I'm heading on a bikepacking trip on the Maah Daah Hey trail in Western North Dakota. It winds between the southern and northern sections of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I have a German Shorthaired Pointer and he's been on a couple overnights with me, but only in the Midwest (where there are fewer large animals). I'm a little concerned about encountering bison around the national park. Can any one else share their experiences with their dogs and bison? Or other large wildlife? Any other tips or experiences with their dogs in the backcountry would be appreciated.
