Maypop i have a basset mix that hates a snake and he has been biten about 5 times i believe he has become immune because they hardly make him sick now.
He is not perticuler about the snake he will kill any snake that crawls i believe he saved my life once i was standing at my chicken pens.
Well all of a sudden he grabbed something and ran and it was a copperhead i'm sure i might could have been biten if it wasn't for his quick action.
I use to take him when he got bit but the vet told me we live so far that if it was going to kill him he would of never made it the 30 minutes to the vet.
he recommend i just keep and eye out for infection and if it happened he would give him some antibotics.
He's a tuff dog he will catch and kill walf rats and eat them.
