I think we worry too much about breeds and not enough about training. My sister in laws min pin paid no attention to the chickens when she stayed with us and learned quickly that cats can be mean! One of the most lovable dogs I was ever around was a huge red doberman male, looked very menacing...
We use orange oil to pour on mounds. It is safe and effective. Must be diluted and large mounds will need treating more than once as there are several queens in one mound. South TX is overrun with them and you can never eradicate them as they are no longer invasive but considered established...
Our Siberian was very prey driven and the smartest dog we have ever had, but we set boundaries with her and she did not bother the cats. Have rescued several husky mixes and they were all fine with the cats. Dogs are very sensitive to energy and body language and I do not believe in bad dogs...
