Although the Saluki appears to be graceful and frail, it has been trained as an avid hunter. It possesses the strength and stamina to chase quarries over long distances and rugged terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revered as the royal dog<\/a>, these were initially used in Egypt to track and take on gazelle. This breed will naturally run after anything that moves, including cats, making them one of the worst dog breeds for cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These natural-born hunters were used for hunting wolves, rabbits, and occasionally snow leopards because of their speed and strength as they brought down prey. Also, they often have the endurance required for arduous and lengthy chases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are considered to have a strong interest in hunting cats, and that’s what places the Afghan Hound at the top of the list of non-cat-friendly dog breeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are excellent show dogs with their lovely silk fur. While they need a lot of daily grooming to keep their beautiful coats, they are loved by their masters as ideal companion dogs, but not in cats’ homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The root of this breed is in Germany<\/a>. They were bred to protect families and livestock by ridding their farmyards of vermin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are affectionate and friendly, particularly with children. They seem to be extremely intelligent but also very strong-willed. Schnauzers ought to practice discipline and exercise daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, because they have both a strong prey instinct and a fearless temperament, they really shouldn’t cohabit with any kind of small pet, including cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
