The reason i brought drivers into it is because i remember a few years ago driving along at a reasonable speed and almost having a head on collision with a young family trying to avoid a cat running across the road....i think its an automatic reaction to try to avoid any animal running across the road but it made me realise how close i came to wiping out an entire young family in order to avoid a pet cat that was somebody elses responsibility.I did hear before about not being allowed to swerve for animals in the road and it was the law gnasher.maybe it's the law or not im not 100% sure though.

Yes, you're right....I'd add that the onus should be on everyone who drives to avoid any animal if at all possible.

I rest my case.

No it's not, it's the dog owners fault for not breaking the dog to cats. Any dog that chases cats is an accident waiting to happen. There are endless possibilities of what could happen, even ending up with lost human life if the cat runs out on a road with the dog chasing it. There is nothing macho about killing cats with dogs. If you can't break a dog to cats I would seriously suggest you don't have one. TC Much as i agree theres nothing big or clever in a dog killing or even chasing a cat.......im not sure i buy this " if you cant break a dog to cats dont have one ".....i mean t

Ha! Same here - takes me ages!

Yep...I think we'll have to agree to differ. But good of you to write the first sentence in capital letters...haha..my eye sight's not that bad yet bud. P.S. Our barn cats are vaccinated and in good health - so no disease here.

I hope it all works out for the OP, as it seems to have been a genuine accident, and I hope his daughter isn't too traumatised by the whole incident.

If you can't break a dog to cats TC I break my dogs to livestock including horses, Raptors and other dogs. They are well socialised with humans and non aggressive, why would I break them to cats they run things in a country setting .I dont break them

What a happy pup, little cracker!

Cheers bud, I'll have to get my son to put them up for me...technology isn't my strong point!

Trying to put up some photos of the new pup...not having much success, can anyone help? Thanks lads.

So, we drove down to St Austell in Cornwall this week to pick up our new pup. She's coming up to 8 months, and she's Bedlington/Whippet x Deerhound/Greyhound,, she's 21"tts at the moment, and is the image of her Dam (beddy/whippet) who we met...I reckon she'll make around 23". I'll try and put up some pics once I work out how to do it. I'm pleased with her, she's a steady pup and she's very eager to please so training should be a happy experience for her. She didn't whimper the first night, probably because the wife slept downstairs with her haha! She's on chicken and brown rice and is e
