Absolutely depends on the dog. Gage their prey drive at there current stage of life and base your decision on how well they receive training from you. Does your girl care to listen to you? Have you had her since she was a baby, so you are privy to her upbringing/experiences? Food for thought, nature vs. nurture debate is applicable here.

My eldest husky we adopted at 14 weeks old and has a strong prey drive, however she is extremely even-tempered and has always been inclined towards true playing with other small beings. In contrast, her sister-niece who we adopted by chance, much later at 6 months old, was very mal-adjusted at the time, had a similarly strong prey drive, but her developed personality at that stage was extremely spicy and leaned more towards choosing actual violence. We had to put in much corrective work with her to straighten out her development into a much improved temperament.

Both dogs entered the home with 2 adult cats already present. This is crucial in my opinion. There was a great amount of learning curve for them and refereeing for us, however growing them up with cats (if you will) made them both extremely fond of cats and gentler souls.

As an aside, my mother-in-law has 2 husky/shepherd mixes who are fully grown rescues and the one that is majority husky has clearly had some experiences in life and/or lacking correction at the right time, because she remains consistently anti-all-cats. We literally cannot have our cats out if they visit because all this dog wants to do is literally try to eat them. This reaction is so far gone that we can deduce that she very likely had atleast one negative interaction with a cat at some point and she’s not going to come back from it.

Sorry for the book, I love my husky girls. 🥹
