I've been interested in cats all my life. I suspect Bruce has been a connoisseur of pussy for a while too... I'm not sure German Shepherds prevent all break-ins. There are times off for Leiderhosen, sheep and beer you know... |

This is Maverick.
 Yeah, bring it on.  We love them, J.D. Germies are wonderful dogs. BUT--they do require serious training. Ours came pre-trained, since we adopted him when he was 4. GSD's are much too smart to be good pets without an investment in an expert training program. He's got a great personality but is still very high-strung; taking him anyplace, even up the street to the vet, is a challenge. I trust him 100% with family and friends - he'd never bite anyone on purpose. Bad guys? Anyone's guess!

The can be trained not to mess with kitty roommates. They've got to be introduced, and both be made aware that they're going to have to get use to it. Granted a dog can kill a cat in an all out battle, but in small skirmishes the dog will likely come out on the short end, with a sliced up nose/ears, and maybe blind.

I doubt I could introduce any dog to Diz.
He's hated every cat he's met (with the exception of St Dylan, but he came from the same home after all). I doubt he'd back down regardless of the potential threat - which could be fatal. My cat is made up of fur and charm and piss and vinegar. In some ways it might be good for him to have a larger, scarier, noisier housemate... But then I figure I fulfill that function anyway. |

He has killed at least two, maybe three stray cats in our yard. But I'm sure he was only fulfilling his role of protector, and the cats were after our chickens. It's a big fenced yard - those cats shoulda known better! He isn't so tough with the cats inside our house, though. We have 5 of them. Every now and then he acts a little bit - what's the word, *offended* by their presence. But he's accepted them, for the most part and leaves them be. But our cats stay inside, and I have no doubt that if they were to get out into the yard, he'd chase them just the same as the strays. I think this is due more to the prey instinct being triggered by a cat running away, something they can't really do in the house so much. |
