I would suggest you use the handguns for bad dogs and the spray for 2 legged dogs.
I do like your choice of pistols.

Many dogs are not the least upset with bear spray. My little sharp-nosed springer was not fazed in the least by bear spray.
She snuffled right through the reddish/orange patch on the grass and even licked it, then carried on her way as if nothing untoward had happened.

About black bears, my older daughter returned to the tree planter camp at noon, to find a black bear eating a can of bear spray that was left on the table. The bear was sprayed after it punctured the can, from it's eyes to it's throat and it's mouth was orange was it lapped up the spray.

Not sure what this all means, but my springer and that bear did not mind it.




Don’t know about Canada, but here in the USA there is a difference between “bear spray” and defense grade OC spray.
The commonly marketed “bear spray” is (on the label) 3% OC …… meant to “discourage” a bear (don’t want to give the poor bear a real dose of reality)
Cannot say what effect the 3% stuff would have on a dog?
The defense or LE strength OC spray (what I carry) runs upwards of 18-23% OC, and I can attest from experience that a wound up Rottweiler lost all interest when dosed with the stuff.
(My wife was downwind and got some wind drift ,….lets just say that she “lost all interest” as well……..I was in real trouble for several days).
