Keep in mind that both Border Collies and Jacks are very high drive dogs......and both will chase cats. All of my Border Collies have been raised around cats from puppies so they are used to them. I race my dogs in Flyball and I can tell you from experience, Border Collies will chase!! Of the 6 of them in my life, only two didn't chase - the rest took forever to train that out of.

Also keep in mind that if you get a high drive dog (like a Border Collie, Jack, ACD, etc.), they need a lot of exercise. My dogs do flyball, sheep herding and dock dogs and on the days where they can't get a good run (very cold weather, rainy weather {I won't run mine in the grass in the rain or ice for fear of slipping and tearing the ACL}) they are very restless and pacey........
