Hi there

i have 2 dogs

a male jrt and a female jrt x dachsund,

tonight the female attacked a neighbours cat,

i dont know why as i have 4 cats myself,

after talking to a few people they suggested either lending her out for hunting or rehoming her to a hunting home.

this isnt the 1st time she has done it she did it with a feral cat a couple of years ago.

this is my main aim of joining this forum and all help/advice will be recieved gratefully.

alrite mate,someone mite take her for ratting but if it was me i would keep her and tell your neighbour to keep their cats out of your garden,i woukldnt get rid of a dog that i had bonded with just for chasing a cat,especially a terrier type dog,its in its breeding,good luck with her mate.

lol i expected awful comments like get rid etc etc,

yes was in my garden

she is lovely in all other aspects and is great with the kids.

but i was worried after i had these suggestions

if she was worked as in lent out would it make the need more so, perhaps make her worse?

do you really want someone to work your pet when it comes back all scarred up from ratting,you cant really work someones pet dog,its too much of a resposibility and i dont think it would make things better.atb

I have 6 Cats, all my Terriers are fine with them, but anyone elses is fair game. You cannot expect any dog to greet other Cats with the same behaviour as the do yours. Unfortunatley there isnt much you can do, except warn your neighbours that if their Cats persist on entering your garden, the dogs will chase and may catch them.

 

Using your dog for ratting wont help or make things any worse in my opinion, keep your dog as a pet if thats what you have her for, perhaps teach a few more obedience commands, and at the end of the day, accept what her heritage is.

thanks for that, its what i was thinking too really, i do want to keep her as a pet.

can i be done for anything for this at all? i.e. charged by police?
