Rescued Dog ... What Breed(s)?

Staci, I thought she looked like a coyote too! I was even afraid that if she were ever allowed to roam free (which she WAS before coming here) that she might be mistaken for one and shot!

You are right. She does favor a coyote. I think she also favors a german shepherd.

Some dogs just can't ever be taught to not chase cats. It could be that she's still new and the cats are something different...if that's it then I think you have a pretty good chance with them getting along one day, but if it's the prey drive in her then I don't know if you'd be able to train her and teach her that the cats are yours and not there for her to chase!

I've had a lot of dgos that weren't good with cats and we weren't able to have any cats until a few years ago actually becsause of the big dogs. Sadly though all 4 of our big dogs have passed away and we have 3 cats now. We couldn't have ever had cats back a long time ago...our dogs just had too much prey drive, which wasn't their fault or didn't mean anything was wrong with them it was just they couldn't be trusted with cats or for that matter any kind of small animals besides a dog

I hope your girl starts adjusting well with the cats soon, but if she doesn't I'm sure you could find her a good home w/out cats/kittens. She sure is beautiful. I totally understand about you not wanting to take chances with her and the cats though.
