Prerequisites: Animal companion, master must have the chosen class feature.Benefit: Choose one of the following class features: bravery, camouflage, favored terrain, hide in plain sight, resist nature’s lure, track, trackless step, venom immunity, and woodland stride. The animal companion gains the benefits of the selected class feature, using its Hit Dice as its level in its master’s class for the purpose of this ability; the animal companion gains the benefits of the base class feature, even if the master alters the class feature via an archetype or other means, though the animal companion doesn’t count as having the class feature for the purpose of fulfilling prerequisites.
Share Feature gives your animal companion one of a specific list of class features that the master possesses, but is uses the companion's HD as its effective class level for that feature.
Is the class feature always from base classes (ie: Druid/Ranger)? What if a character's only class granting such a class feature is from a non-base class?
Specific example is a character who is only getting Favored Terrain from Horizon Walker. Would the companion's Favored Terrain progress at the rate of Horizon Walker (twice every 3 HD), or progress at base Ranger (3rd and every 5 HD after)?
I think that when they say "base class feature" they are referring to the feature before alterations for archetypes.
I think RAI would be the HD as per the level of the class that gives the feature. If gained from Horizon Walker, then it counts as Horizon Walker. If the feature stacks with levels in another class it will still use the feature as from the class chosen. So if you get a sneak attack die 2 levels in one class and every 3 levels in another, then you should not use the slower advancing class as the ability will be advancing slowed.
