You can find it here 9 dog breeds that are said to get along perfectly with cats.

Golden retriever

Golden retrievers are considered very friendly dogs that are easy to train. They are a great example of a breed that gets along with children as well as other pets. Introduce your cat to a dog before she is 4 months old. Namely, if a cat lives with a puppy, it gets used to him more easily (and vice versa).

Basset Hound

These long-eared canine pets are stubborn and difficult to train. Perhaps this is exactly why they are great company for cats. Not only are these dogs gentler and friendlier, but they don't need as much exercise and tend to live longer than most breeds. Like cats, basset hounds also like to sleep and are good company for adult cats who are not too exuberant.

Curly Bichon

The curly bichon is one of those breeds that can be 'afraid' that its feline friend will surpass it in kilograms. But this will not be a problem for this very active and loving dog. Bichons are playful and curious, but they also need more time to rest. Their soft, fluffy bodies are great for carding, and they also don't like to be alone, which means they make good company for cats to sleep over when you're not home. Bichon is recommended if you have a temperamental, older cat that needs its own space.

English Marriage (beagle)

At heart, they are hunting dogs who live and work in a group and thus see cats as members of their group. Couples also like to play outside and know that it's important to calm down indoors. They play well with other animals, are energetic and gentle at the same time. The company at home also ensures that they are not bored. It is best to socialize the puppies, both with cats and other dogs. And one more warning: beagles they like to howl. If you have a cat that is easily startled by loud noises, keep this in mind.

Pug

This little puppy lives to love and play. They love attention and will happily snore at home waiting for you to come home. This is also a breed that gains more than it loses by living with, playing with, and resting with other animals. So if you have a loving and/or energetic cat at home, the pug is the best breed.

Cavalier of King Charles

When it comes to ego, King Charles' Cavalier could easily rival a cat. These graceful dogs are descendants of sporting dogs and do not scare easily. These spaniels are also very affectionate and adaptable. Are you going out in the evening? No problem. Do you like to stay at home and read a book? No problem. Is the cat the ruler of your living space? Cavalier King Charles can put up with that too. Tip: feeding a dog and a cat at the same time can bond them.

Labrador retriever

Labradors are surrounded by an aura of happiness and light. They are kind, energetic, dedicated and friendly. They get along with everyone, partly because they want to please and partly because they really want to connect. And this breed is one of the best if you want a variety of pets. They are smart enough to be taught and gentle enough to give other animals their space when they need it. Introduce cats to Labradors when they are puppies.

Boxer

It may surprise you that Boxers are one of the better dog breeds for households with cats, as they are generally known for their very energetic and strong natures. However, these qualities complement well with kittens and younger cats who like to run around and play. Boxers are also well known for getting along well with children and other dogs, but only if they are introduced to them early in life.

Maltese

Beware of the Maltese-cat friendship: they can quickly become best friends and forget about you. These little dogs know how to make friends and enjoy being lazy. Like the King Charles Cavalier, they adapt perfectly to different schedules and energies and don't need a lot of activity. Stubborn as a cat and happy to be lazy: the Maltese is ideal for families with older cats and cats that prefer to bask in the sun rather than run after a laser.
