I have a mutt that is a hunting dog, some kind of possible German wired haired pointer or terrier Anyways?

right now he lives with my mom and dad due to we have no yard, we are buying a house with a yard, he is a indoor outdoor dog, My question is when he did live with us he would try to attack the cats we have 2 of them. Right now if a cat comes in the back yard he goes after it with a venegence, I am going to have to take him back when we get our house, any way I can get him and the cats to just get along?? Any ideas? One cat is declawed the other isn't. I really need some help here. It maybe in the dogs blood as a hunter to hunt small prey I don't know, he will even kill birds if they get in the yard. HELP

I have a German Shorthair Pointer. I also have a female cat who hates him. Here's the deal - GSP's are hunters. That's what they are bred to do. If they didn't go after birds, or cats, or small prey, they wouldn't be true to their breed would they? I fight the same battle with my GSP boy and my female cat. I love them both and just find a way to make it work. It is a challenge. But he is an excellent boy regardless. She is my girl. Good luck.

Get a crate for the dog.
And a crate for the cat.
And crate train both of them.
Keep them separate or your cat is as good as dead.
