Far Cry: New Dawn Wild Dog is a Rank 1 huntable animal required for the Master Skinner trophy/achievement in the video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
This mammal can be found after you reach Prosperity, and our map below reveals its location.
Unlike other species covered by our Far Cry: New Dawn Wiki, the Wild Dog is a common animal, which doesn’t require a powerful weapon.
Nevertheless, you’ll have better chances to hunt this animal faster, if you use the Perks we have listed in our guide.

Hunting Tips
As a Rank 1 animal, the Wild Dog in Far Cry: New Dawn is easy to kill even early in the game.
You can hunt this animal with any weapon, although we prefer the Space Force SA-50 for its increased damage.
When you head out trying to find a Wild Dog, make sure you take Timber with you, as he can tag the animals nearby. A single shot from the Space Force SA-50 should put down this animal.
