Get a cat or a dog first?

[SweetAngie]

We are about to be in a position to get a pet for the first time. My ideal would be to eventually have both a cat and a dog, but have been really focusing on getting a dog quite soon, and thought maybe add a cat in a couple of years or so.

One breed we have looked at is a border terrier, but in our research I have heard someone say that if a border terrier grows up from a puppy around cats they can get on fine, but if you try to introduce a cat to an adult border terrier they will probably attack them. So we thought we might get a cat first and then a puppy fairly soon afterwards. Is that insane?

Any experience or advice?

We had dog then cat. And another cat last year. All from pups/kits. The dog is highly tolerant and just wants to play but the grown up cat hates the kitten I wouldn't necessarily keep a dog with a high prey drive with cats.
