Souraya,

Duncan is the same way with the prey drive but the "Mighty Hunter" has yet to catch anything! He did get a cat once in his teeth but thank God it escaped. I don't know how badly he hurt it because I could never find it again...
Yesterday on our walk through the woods we discovered a new path. I noticed that the dogs were spending a lot more time than usual thrashing through the undergrowth rather than running along the path as they usually do. When I came around a corner, there was a couple standing there with their poodle in their arms. They said that my dogs were chasing a deer through the woods!! I wasn't too concerned that they would catch the deer (Jack is so NOT a hunter!!!! He would want to lick the deer to death!)but that the deer would hurt them...And the fact that it's illegal I think!!

Anyway, they came back to me when called and we left. Duncan does feel that anything smaller than him that moves is food! It's very disconcerting. I think that is how he survived as a stray and I don't think we can "break" them of the habit/instinct.

As long as Drake is up-to-date on his shots, I guess we'll just have to hope all other animals stay out of his way, as they would a wolf in the the wild....
Here in NY, distemper is not mandatory but there have been some cases in a nearby county of some raccoons having it so they are advising pet owners to have them vaccinated. Since Drake was adopted, he may already have this but you may want to look into it. I honestly don't know much about it or how it's transmitted.
