She's here! (Dog saga=happy ending!)

[Zen]

" in races. Most Greyhound rescue centres here advise against homing a Greyhound where there is a cat.

By saying that, my friend had a Jack Russell and a cat. The difference was that she got them at the same time when the dog was a pup and the cat a kitten so they were brought up together.

With the greyhounds I wouldn't be choosing the dog, they would choose it for me. They have some that do OK with cats. What's a GSD?

This is my first post have been lurking for sometime. I have never posted on any message board, so I hope this is correct.

Please don't get a Jack Russell if you have a cat, my neighbors Jack killed a cat and if you go to the jack russell message board you will read where people thought their jack russell would never hurt a cat, but in fact terrified their cats and killed them. The lady I work with has an older Jack Russell and another worker brought his cocker spaniel puppy in and the Jack attacked her.

Sorry for the rant, I just had to let you know.

casandrasue. welcome to TE and no, not a rant. Thanks for the info.

My Lab/pit/something something something mutt likes cats if they are *her* cats. I posted somewhere here that a neighbor abandoned a kitten on my dog walkers doorstep. Mary fostered the kitten while we tried to find it a home. (We did find a good home)

While there she also dogsat my mutt. I was a concerned but she said not to worry she'd easily keep them away from each other.

But when the kitten was out Mae would whine and cry so Mary carefully let her come close.

Mae licked the kitten.

Now if she was only as good with dogs as she is with cats my life would be so much simpler.

German Shepard Dog.


After my first dog (a siberian husky mix) died - I looked into Siberian husky rescue - and I learned most of them are not cat trustworthy unless raised with (as in my case) cats - so I switched to collies. In my own siberian mix - she had a high prey drive - because she had been raised with with indoor cats she never bothered them (in fact - the cats completely ruled her)- but I had to be very careful with her and any little creature outside.
