Our cats just give the dogs a slap. We have 2 lurchers which you can't rehome with cats under no circumstances.

So far we have had 5 lurchers and approx 10 cats spanning the 20 years of ownership.



 :grin:

I have a lurcher who lives with my cats. We got her at about 4 months old as a private rehome. She's a pain but wonderful at the same time!

Good luck finding your new friend - if you have a specific breed or type in mind there are plenty of breed specific rescues who could help  :smiley:

More to the point. Have you seriously thought about this?  Owning a dog is a commitment for several years.

I'm sure they are I just don't like the reputation that comes with them  :sad:

Don't really like the look of them either lol. Neither does the gf.

The rescue route looks good so far. Think a lil trip over there would b good.


Thank guys and gals. Much appreciated. Some cute dogs too   :cool:

It's a shame the reputation that comes with owning a staffordshire bull terrier. My sister has a rescue one and he is such a lovely dog, even my mrs loves him and she isnt a dog person but he has really changed her perception of them. As mentioned though because they became a fashion item for chavs people see them as viscous dogs when that couldnt be any further from the truth.
