Dog Breeds That Get On With Cats

Prey drive is the deciding factor, and it varies enormously — some breeds were built to chase small fast things, and asking them to ignore a cat is asking a lot. The breeds here are the more companionable ones. Introductions still need to be slow and managed, with the cat always able to get somewhere the dog cannot follow.

How we picked these: breeds we rate 4 out of 5 or higher for getting on with other pets. The list is generated from our own breed ratings rather than hand-picked, and refreshes whenever we update a breed profile — so any breed we have not rated yet simply is not shown.
