New puppy

[Vette]

I had no idea how my dog would be with cats either when i first got him. he was 2an half years old when i found the ad for him.

hes a Toy Poodle but even little dogs bites can be rather nasty. but luckily hes one the types of dogs where its a game to see if he can get a cat to run or not. if they do run he'll give chase. if a cat doesnt run hes great with them.

i wish you luck. i went back an forth on this very issue myself 12years ago

This is my story! I brought four different puppies into the house with my cats Missy and RB Sassy. They chased Sassy, only because she would run. Missy stands her ground. The dogs stopped chasing, period, once they were no longer puppies, with the exception of JAKE! Missy will not run from him, my newer rescue kitty Angel made that mistake. So now I have to keep an eye on them and am praying Angel will swat Jake in the face a time or two and stand her ground.

I have two herding breed dogs and they do chase the cats, but not to hurt them, just to play with them. Now my RB kitty, Taz, wouldn't run from them so he was no fun for the dogs. Paizly and Jax do run so the dogs will chase, of course. Usually the cat finds a place up high that the dogs can't get to, or they'll just stop running then the dog just snifs them and walks away.

But you definitely want to just be very aware when they are together, as I still am with all my furkids.

Oh, and we'd love to see pictures of this puppy.
