which type of dog do you have with your cats?

I have a Lab/German Shorthaired Pointer/Coonhound mix named Macey. She will be 2 on May 22nd. I also have a purebred Chocolate Lab, Coco, that will be 2 on July 14th.

Macey chases the cats that run, but Coco doesn't chase any cats. They don't chase the housecats as they would hate to have Twitch mad at them. Despite being so defenseless, she is quite the queen of the house.

I am dog-sitting a Rat Terrier that loves to chase the cats. She is actually stressing the cats(possibly to the point that she is the cause of the diarrhea). I have been walking her tons & she has quit chasing the cats so much. I know I will never get a terrier of my own, though.

Jello is in my siggy. He is a shih'tzu.

Last dog I had...

JC Princess Hanaonpoint


German Shorthaired Pointer

I've had many dogs over the years, but this one, and the Malamute that we had when I was a kid were my two favorites

I've got an 11 year old male Lhasa Apso, a 2 year old female Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and a 4 year old female Labrador mix. All are wonderful with my cats, especially my lab. Her best friend is Paws the cat.

My boy was a flashy brindle. I would like to see a picture of her, I love them!

We have a beagle and although she loves the cats she can be a little rough with them still. Although she is only a year old. They all do really well together though.
I love reading about all the dogs........Love the Labradoodles and boxers.

We have 2 Old English Sheepdogs that share our home with our pride of Ragdolls. We loving call them Ragdogs, or Sheepdolls
This is Jack and Annabelle, they are in full coat here, they have been sheared since this picture, but it has almost grown back in again.
They are the most unique and loving puppers anyone could have the pleasure of sharing their life with. They are nannies to our children and the cats/kittens.

they are so cute!!! I've always like sheepdogs

I have a ten year old Lhasa Apso and he is very interested in the cats when I first bring them home, but after that he basically ignores them unless they hang from his ears he's kind of jealous too so if he wants the attention the cats are getting he will sit on them Simon likes to harass him sometimes and he will get chased for it

I have always had cats and dogs. Right now we have 3 dogs with our cat family. Molly is our gold ret(best dog ever!) then we have Jimmie(boxer) and last but not least, Amy(our pit pup) they all get along well, but Amy and Jimmie do tend to chase the cats when given the chance... BTW-u can see pics of my dogs in the pet pic forum and also Amy with our 3 week old kittens in kitten and pregnant cat care forum

I have a Golden retriever and a Chocolate lab. They both are males and get along very well with the cats. They even let Callie keep believing she's a dog.

We just added Max, a treeing walker hound, to our family in january. He's around 3 and came from the SPCA, so, like many shelter dogs, he has some alpha issues. He had lived with cats previously, and he likes Sammy and Lola, though they don't cuddle together or anything.....but will sleep separately on the same surface such as a corner of the carpet, or the sofa. He has definitely taken over top spot of the three animals, due to both his size (70lbs) and personality. He and Sammy get along pretty much full time, but Max doesn't always think Lola should leave the bedroom (her "home" while they were still separated). We've been working on this issue and progress is being made. He'll now only chase her back to her room some of the time, which is an improvement. Also, he is now spending some time in the bedroom with Lola, which is helping her relax around him and helping him get used to seeing her normal behaviours, which we're hoping with contribute to his acceptance of her throughout the apartment. We have socialized them to the point where they can basically be around each other with no problems unless there is human food involved.....if we're eating and Sam is closer to us than Max is, Max sometimes might get a little upset about it, even though neither of them is getting any of our food. We find that repeating "no food, Sammy" helps Max realize that we're not giving Sam anything (it's amazing how fast Max learned Sammy's name). But other than that specific situation, they're cool.
Max IS a hound and he likes to dominate by size and chasing, running past Sammy or straight at him....but when he gets up to Sammy, he's only interested in sniffing or flopping onto the ground for a rest lol. Sammy has clued into this and doesn't run anymore, which solves a lot of the chasing problem. We're still working on the "no-chase" command, but, as with many shelter dogs, we'll have to be patient and dedicated before all is "perfect" (or close enough).
I should mention that hounds are not always good with smaller animals like cats, and that we were aware of the work ahead of us when we added Max to our furry gang. But so far, he's been a great addition, fitting into our lives very nicely. It looks like, with some time and commitment, we'll all be living happily ever after

Right now we have a shih-tzu/JRT mix and they basicly ignore eachother cept for when it comes to Dahlila taking Lizzies spot in the window then Lizzie pokes her in the but and on steps on her head

When we had our Springer/beagle well not a good match constantly trying to "herd" Lizzie.

We got a 3 year old cavalier about 6 months ago and a 1 year old jack russell a couple of months later, they both settled in very quickly with the 8 cats

We have a GSD (possibly mixed w/collie) and he's a big woos! He tries to act tough but his bark is louder than his bite. Neely knows just how to push his buttons too but fortunately they co-exist quite nicely.

I have a Chihuahua/Papillon mix and a Shepherd/Pit Bull mix, and aside from occasional chasing, they all get along just fine!

Well, I have Zoey she's a 2 year old Jack Russel Beagle mix, and then I have Keishia, she'sa 3 year old German Sheperd Wolf hyrbid. She doesn't pay any mind to the kittens, but Zoey is just amazed by them.

I have an 8yo Australian Shepherd-Border Collie mix, but he's "so-so" about the cats. He LOVES them but is still learning about boundaries. He was great with them until Molly came along (Molly isn't afraid of him so Jake can sniff her all he wants). So now Jake has been trying to get close to Buffy to sniff her too but she flips out, and then Jake doesn't know what to do. He acts before he thinks, lol

Mentally (or is it Emotionally?) Jake is great with the cats. He means no ill-harm and truely likes them, but the herding instinct in him is strong so sometimes we end up with a chase or a fight (which usually follows a chase; the victim cat is "protected" by her fellow cat-mate. Usually it's Buffy who gets chased and Willow who protects, lol). Nobody gets hurt except Jake, though once Willow got a goose egg on her belly after a particularly nasty fight.

I have 2 mini longhaired Dachshunds, Heidi and Princess and my DSH Tuxedo cat Smokey.

Smokey was the first pet, we got him 3 years ago in our apartment, when we moved last year and bought our new home, we bought 2 mini doxies,

The dogs are now 1yr old and Smokey pretends he is a Doxie!!!, They all get along fine,

When we were searching for a good breed, we decided that the dogs must be smaller than the cat, because Smokey baby was there first!!!!, He is about 14 lbs or so, the mini doxies are 10lbs and Heidi is a bit bigger she is 14lbs, but much shorter than Smokey.

They have tons of fun running around the house. Smokey lays on the dining room chairs and he paws at the dogs and plays this game of Catch me if you can... it is hysterical..

Here is my Max. He is a Sheltie. Adopted at 4 years old from the Humane Society. He is now 7ish. I don't think I have ever seen a Sheltie whose ears didn't fold over at the tips.
