Spca will tell you if dog is ok with cats

Have you considered your local Humane Society?

Most Humane Society organizations do testing of any animals they accept to determine if the dog is good with cats and other small animals, and they often have pure bred (if that's what you're looking for) animals, sometimes puppies, sometimes older.

It's true about each dog being unique in its tolerance to cats, regardless of its breed.

One of my dogs is a Shar Pei who has a very high prey drive - on our walks she's constantly scoping out the landscape for squirrels to chase. However, at home she's OK with my own cats, and actually even "mothers" one of them a bit (the neediest one, who was taken away from her mother too early.) She was brought into my home as a puppy, and the cats were already there, so she took it in stride and is very tolerant of them.
