Forgot to say, I deliberately picked a female in the hope she wouldn't try and be as dominent as a male dog. Carol

Hi, My puppy Jack Russell (female) is 14 weeks old. We've had her since she was seven weeks old. We have two cats. One is a year old and the other is about twelve years old. They get on great. At first our younger cat was petrified and the older one slapped the puppy around the face a few times and the puppy stopped chasing him. The younger cat took a few weeks to get used to her, now they're great friends. I think as long as you let the cats show the puppy who's boss you should be ok. Introduce them gradually. Good luck, Carol

my dad as a jack Russell bitch and she adores my g/pig and other dogs

weve got a j/russel cross with a border terrier about 9mths old now .......more j/russel in him.had them years ago called sam & fonze him from happy days......oh has racing pigeons and hell not take him to the garden....wouldnt trust him,hes not even scared of sons dobermin hope you get one as lovely as ours ann xx

my thought was that as the pup is only 8 weeks old he would get use to cats anyhow but yes i think that once ive seen them later i will no which one to have thanks to you all louise

Hi Louise... The only reason i do not have a jack Russel ( i love them) is because they do not mix with cats !! I have 3 cats. Please be carefull...

Hi Elaine !! Lol I was right then, I thought I had some idea in the back of the depths of what's left of my brain, lol ! :0)) Joan

i agree with diana, go with your heart. it's unusual to be offered a dog, as they are often kept for breeding.....whichever you chose, you will have a friend for life. bryan.

Jack Russell's and cats do NOT mix. !! Ask my cats !! and the Jack Russell next door !! Not best combination in the world ! Not a group animal either I believe. Next door couldn't choose between two in the rescue centre and was gonna have them both, but centre wouldn't let her have two as they hadn't been brought up together. ?? Elaine ;-)

I always thought Jack Russells & cats don't mix, I may be wrong. They are good farm dogs, especially at rat catching, so I wouldn't let the guinea pig or hamster out with a Jack Russell (Or cat for that matter) in the same room, lol ! Good luck, :0) Joan

I have no idea what are preferable but wanted to wish you luck - just go with the one you fall in love with!! x
