Thats what I did before I got Odie, the shelter was a great help with that. It will at least give you some idea on what could or might happen. Just don't go by it 100%. Odie did great at the shelter, didn't seem to care less about the cats. When we got him home is was fine, till the day a cat tried to rub on him. Odie didn't like that! I gave him credit for being as nice as he was about it, he did his growl, niped at her and once she backed off he went back to sleep and the cats learned DONT RUB ON ODIE and DONT EAT ODIES FOOD!

Sorry I can't be much more help then that. I can only say, I have 7 dogs and 11 cats and there's only 3 of the dogs that I trust 100% with the cats. None of them have ever hurt a cat, but nipping at them when they get in the way, that happens here. But they all seem to know their limits of what they can and can not do and for the most part we are all one big happy family. Except Rocky, who is never alowed near the cats!!!!

Test and re-test is all I can say, till you get a feel a full feel of how things are going to go. On average, their responce will not change too much, if you have a nipper, he will most likely be a nipper always, etc etc. At least thats how if works here.
