Bernadette Tree Dog
The Bernadette Tree Dog is a hunting dog that has been developed with genetic modifications to allow the dogs to climb trees very easily.
The Tree Dog was originally bred to help pursue game during hunting expeditions. Many times animals would climb up trees to flee, and they were able to hide in the thick canopy, or behind large branches. The Tree Dog could be sent up the tree to keep the animal from settling in one spot where the hunters could not see the game, and even to fetch the game if it did not fall out of the tree after being shot.
The Tree Dog has a good nose and excellent eye sight making it a very good hunting dog for many game species. It was originally developed for hunting the Bernadette Mountain Cougar which often retreats to the canopy to escape hunters. Initially used by farmers and ranchers to eliminate the dangerous Mountain Cougar from their property, a side market developed for guides who escorted rich paying hunters, and who often did not get paid well if the animals where chased up trees but taken for trophies.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The addition of small parts of the Bernadette bear DNA have given the Tree Dog longer claws and stronger legs.
Additional Information
Domestication
While fully domesticated, the introduction of the Bernadette bear DNA has made the Tree Dog a little skittish, and quick to nip or bite when surprised, this makes it not a good pet for homes with children, although it is a loyal companion and loves nothing more than to be out hunting in the fields and forests.
