*MYTH BUSTER MONDAYS*
We’re starting the week again with our ‘Myth Buster Mondays’ where we discuss some of the widely held greyhound myths.
Ahead of National Cat Day tomorrow we discuss the widely held belief that greyhounds can’t live with cats.
Now the jury is out on this one and we’re expecting you will all have a different opinion.
We know of a small amount of greyhounds who can happily live with cats. On the other hand we know that there are many others who certainly could not due to their high prey drive! These differences can be found in most other breeds of dog too.
Greyhounds, during their racing career, have been taught to chase small furry animals and cats unfortunately fit into that category. Of course, as with everything, there are exceptions to the rule and we’d love to see photos of your cats living happily with your greyhound.
Unfortunately we don’t have the facilities for assessing hounds with cats at Makants so we can never say any of our greyhounds would be able to live with cats.
