Getting a Dog who doesn't chase Cats



by Queenie1

You have cats and you want to get a dog. You wonder how to get a dog who won't chase your cats. Are there certain breeds of dogs who are less interested in cats?

From what I have seen there are dogs raised as puppies with cats who usually get along with the cats in their home but the dog may chase someone else's cat that he's not familiar with. If you have a puppy and he chases the cat your cat will get angry or mad at the puppy and will swipe the puppies nose, hiss or growl at him. From this the puppy will learn not to chase the cat again. You can also train your dog when he's young not to chase the cat.

Certain dog breeds have a higher "prey drive" instinct and will instinctively chase cats. Any cat or animal that runs in front of the dog will kick in your dogs "prey drive" as it is fun for him to chase. I just have to look at my dog's face after chasing a cat and he usually has a smile so they enjoy it.

Some dogs have no interest in cats. If you want a dog that gets along with cats you can look on this website:  Petfinder

Look for a dog that is cat tested by their dog foster parents. The petfinder has information on each dog. They state whether the dog is good with children, young children and with other animals or whether they get along with cats. The dogs are already tested with cats and they are ready for your home.

You will find a nice dog there for your home as well as a pet dog that will accept your cats without chasing them. You also will be saving the life of a dog who needs a good loving home.

Chihuahua A Very Old Breed




By Queenie 1

The Chihuahua dog is a very, tiny small breed dog which weighs less than 6 lbs. From their shoulder to the ground they're 6"-9". This petite dog originated in Central and South America. There are short haired Chihuahua's and long haired Chihuahua's. The long haired Chihuahua's need occasional brushing of their fur.

Chihuahua's are a very nervous high-strung, spunky little dog but they are very loving with their owners. They don't travel well so they are better left home then go with the family. The Chihuahua isn't good with young children or children playing roughly. They are a very good watchdog as they can bark loudly and continually if they are disturbed.

The Chihuahua can be a stubborn, nippy dog when they feel threatened or annoyed so you need to start firm patient training early. They don't need a lot of exercise so they are a good pet for an owner who doesn't walk a lot. The Chihuahua is sensitive to temperature changes so when it's cool they will need a sweater for the cold weather.

The Chihuahua will do well in a home that is a condo or apartment but they can be a bit noisy. The Chihuahua is a very loving little companion.

There are several the reason why small dogs are hypoallergenic. Since they are small, many breeds can't climb on the couch, bed, or different furniture. With fewer allergens on the furnishings, you will not be as affected by them. Small canines wish to have their very own space. They will sleep in a dog bed or blanket that you must wash often.

Small dogs often have shorter hair or they've hair that is long and thin. This hair does not appear to cause as many issues to these with dog allergies. Their hair is straightforward to handle and doesn't shed as typically as different breeds. Whereas you will have to take these dogs to be groomed more usually, it's best to be capable of breathe easily around them. Since the canine don't shed as often, less dander is current in carpeting and on walls as well.

When you are in search of a small dog, you need to find a breed that fits your lifestyle. This can allow you to construct a trusting relationship that may final a long time.
