Simoman 110 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Its all down to early stockbreaking most of the time, I used to have a couple of cats and so my dogs were steady around them. Nowdays i dont keep cats and was lazy about breaking my dogs to them so cats are veiwed as chaseable quarry, luckily enough they are on leads when they encounter them and i dont see them out in the fields, the only time i have i have been lucky in recalling them before sighted. As i said lazyness on my part as i dont want my dogs to kill cats......... Quote Link to post
WILF 47,432 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Lurchers and cats can live perfectly well together and do so all over the country but I would not trust a proper working terrier 100% Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) all i,m asking is is their any 1 who got working dog,s that ,s living with cats !!! when i say proper i mean't lurchers,terriers ,bullx, not labradors ,collies,spaniels,etc ..just someone i know got a lurcher & she has killed three cats in her own garden !!! i can remeber this 1 lad who had a cat living with a working lurcher!!! just wanted to hear good feed back on the subject !!! thanks for reply's All ours have lived with cats, can take them to other peoples houses with cats and walk them past any in the road. They were all trained like that from pups, if i told them to nail one they would but i never have or will. I think cat chasing or killing is just a nuisance. No surer way to lose permission than killing the farmers wifes pet. My wife also used to keep rats, and we could put them on the floor and tell the lurchers to leave and they would (not the terrier though, we didnt get him as a pup) even seen the rats get into the lurchers bed. My friends old coursing bitch would go out on hares of a sunday then come home and curl up with the kids house rabbit. They are not stupid and know whats allowed and whats not if they've been trained right. There is no reason for a lurcher to be a mindless killing machine. As for your idea of "proper" working dogs, what makes you think labs, collies or spaniels arent "proper"? Seen many have you? Edited March 3, 2011 by Tyla 2 Quote Link to post

comanche 3,057 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Not even my cat or my house ( You can tell by the clean floor ! ). I've had cats and dogs that mock-fought so violently that you'd think the dog was about to crunch the guts out of the moggy or the cat was about to take out the dog's eyes . The dog did'nt go for the crunch and the cat always pulled its claws -in . Quote Link to post
