High prey drive refers to an animal's strong instinctual motivation to chase and capture prey. This trait is often seen in hunting breeds, where the desire to pursue small animals or moving objects is pronounced. Dogs with high prey drive may exhibit behaviors like chasing, stalking, and intense focus on potential targets. While this can be beneficial for specific tasks, it may require careful management in non-hunting contexts to prevent unwanted behaviors.
Yes they do. I do not believe in this though, I have seen many Siberian Huskies allow strangers in houses & my 3 Siberians never attack children or my rabbits. If they did have high prey drive, they wouldn't be such big whiners or to kind to strangers, compare a GSD to a husky, the GSD would probably have a higher prey drive. I luv the GSD & SH, both great breeds but I don't believe in the "Huskies have high prey drive bull crap."
Yes they will, especially if the dog is much smaller that themselves. Mountain Lions have a high prey drive, they have to in order to survive and anything smaller or weaker is prey.
they just like the sound of it Kitties like things that move or crinkle. They are animals of prey. Their prey drive is high and things like that excite them to chase it & play with it.
I don't know about eat, but they might attack them and or kill them.

Its Teeth! Edit: What do you mean when you say "What kills it's prey?" WHOS PREY!!!!
If the particular dog has a fetish for them then of course he will but Aussie dogs do have fairly high prey drive and so will attack any small creature that moves.

Any dog could chase a cat ... its a prey drive and how strong their drive is, will determine if they chase ... if the dog grew up with cats, its less likely to treat cats as prey.
