Wirral,i had no issue with your post,but R.Docks saying if your dog can't be called of a cat it should not be off the lead,and what i was putting across was i dont and wouldn't break my dogs to cats ,over here they have as status as a fox,and i wouldn't go out to kill someones pet ,but if it is on my property or my permission and they get flushed they are fair game ,the same as if a farmer see's a dog on his land worrying stock ,he has the right to kill it
