Howdy Partner! Yearnin' for a Yappy Companion in Red Dead Redemption 2?
Let's face it, wranglin' outlaws and bustin' banks in the ol' west gets mighty lonesome sometimes. Sure, you got your trusty steed, but a horse just ain't got the same judgemental side-eye when you eat beans for the fourth day straight. That's where a canine confidante comes in – a furry friend to share yer sunsets and squirrel chases with.
But hold yer horses (or should that be hounds?) – snaggin' a pooch in Red Dead Redemption 2 ain't quite as simple as whistlin' up your loyal steed. Now, there are two ways to go about this doggy business, depending on which side of the law you fancy yourself on:
1. The Honest Outlaw (or at least Not-So-Sticky-Fingered One)

This path's for the fella with a moral compass that ain't totally busted. You see, in Red Dead Online, there's a fine establishment known as the Wilderness Outfitters – a general store with more animal pelts than a taxidermist convention (don't ask too many questions). Head on over there, and you'll find a whole doggy department, just brimming with breeds itching to be your partner-in-crime (or, you know, good deeds).

How To Buy A Dog Rdr2 |
Here's the How-To:
- Open yer wallet wide, partner: These pups ain't exactly free-range. You'll be shelling out some serious cash (or gold bars, if you're feeling fancy) depending on the breed. Expect to pay anywhere from a couple hundred bucks to a cool four hundred for a spiffier Labrador.
- Pick your perfect pooch: You ain't stuck with some scrawny barn dog. Choose from a variety of breeds, each with their own look and personality. There's the American Foxhound, always up for a good chase, or the loyal Labrador, happy to just trot alongside ya.
- Shower 'em with love (and maybe some grub): Just like you and your trusty steed, your doggo needs some lovin'. Pet 'em, feed 'em, and whistle for 'em to follow you around. They'll even help you track down those pesky scavengers!
2. The Not-So-Honest Outlaw (Because Let's Be Real, We All Have a Little Dutch in Us)

Now, if you're more of a "finders keepers, losers weepers" kinda fella, then this method's more your style. There's no shame in it – sometimes a good ol' fashioned canine kidnapping adds a bit of spice to the game (just don't tell PETA).
Here's the How-You-Might-Get-Away-With-It:
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.![]()
- Become the ultimate dog-napper: Keep your eyes peeled for strays wanderin' around ranches or towns. Sneak up on 'em real quiet (those spurs can be noisy!), and hope they don't have a grumpy owner with a shotgun nearby.
- Be prepared to answer some questions (or maybe just outrun 'em): If you get caught with your furry little hostage, be prepared to hightail it outta there. Just remember, unlike your horse, your dog ain't the best at dodgin' bullets.
Important Note: This method is highly discouraged (by me, at least). You might end up with a bounty on your head and a whimpering pup who misses their original owner's good cookin'.
So there you have it, partner! With a little know-how and maybe a dash of good or bad luck, you'll have a furry friend by your side in no time. Just remember, with great dogs comes great responsibility (and poop scooping). Now git out there and make some memories with your new best bud – just try not to get them eaten by a bear.
