Are Lurchers Good Family Pets? Lurchers are one of the oldest and most popular hybrid dog breed that has been around much longer than other crosses such as Cockerpoo or Labradoodle. Lurchers are intelligent dogs and pro-active dogs.

The rough-coated or hairy lurchers are usually had their cross with a collie or a terrier. The smooth-coated lurchers are more like greyhounds.

WHAT ARE LURCHERS?

Technically a lurcher comes as the result of a cross between a greyhound and a working dog. The active dog can be a collie or a terrier. Some other small whippet-type dogs can call lurchers when dogs like Salukis and greyhound crossed with a whippet. 

BREEDS CROSS TO FORM A LURCHER

The cross-breeding of sighthound is classed as lurcher. The most famous sighthound includes greyhound, Saluki, Irish wolfhound, Italian greyhound, etc. The size of a lurcher goes from small to giant. Thus, there is no standard size for lurchers. 

The famous cross of sighthound includes collie, terriers, sled dogs. Lurchers are usually leggy and lithe. It is sporadic to find a tricky lurcher due to genetic contribution from a specific heavy breed.

LURCHERS AS PETS

Lurchers are becoming prevalent dogs as they make themselves exceptional family dogs. They are generally very much friendly with children, loving, loyal, and very affectionate. 

Lurchers are good all-round dogs that may be worked or kept as a pet as a general rule; lurchers are great as a pet. They require more exercise than greyhounds and are not good at being left. There should be other dogs or any caretaker if the owner doesn’t have much time in the daytime. It is essential to have a secure garden for lurchers, i.e., a six-foot fence to keep the lurchers safe.

APPEARANCE OF LURCHERS

There is no set type for lurchers as they are hybrid dogs. They can be as small as a whippet or as giant as Deerhound. The coat type and upkeep requirements will vary according to the type of the cross. Though coat types range from short and smooth to more prolonged and thicker, to rough and broken depending on the breed of dog, it gets crossed.

ARE LURCHERS GOOD WITH OTHER PETS?

Lurchers are generally non-defensive and friendly dogs. Once they become socialized adequately with the environment, they remain good with other dogs. Lurchers can even share their space with cats when introducing a young age and trained not to chase the cat. Nevertheless, their sighthound instincts force them to pursue once they are outdoor. 

ARE THEY GOOD WITH CHILDREN?

Lurchers are potentially excellent family dogs, as they are very kind, gentle, calm, and loving to people of all ages. They like to play ball and many other games with children. They are curious and love to get involved in things, but they run out of energy long before the children will.

Lurcher is smaller when they get breeding with a tiny Italian greyhound and can be pretty fragile. It is essential to make sure that lurchers don’t get hurt by overly enthusiastic play.

HOME SPACE FOR LURCHERS

Lurchers are a good fit for many families, and they don’t need a specifically large home and garden to remain happy. However, they do require a safe enclosure with enough space where lurchers can run. 

The trainer or owner needs to have a good grasp of the traits and understand the sighthound temperaments. This information is necessary for the term of the prey drive and propensity of lurchers to chase other pets.

EXERCISE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LURCHERS

Like most dogs, lurchers require a minimum of two walks per day. However, the exercise requirements are not on the higher side as compared to other dogs. A walk of thirty minutes twice per day is more than sufficient for the lurchers. Once lurchers reach home after the walk, they want to sleep for recovery.

TEMPERAMENT OF LURCHERS

The temperament of lurchers depends on the breed they are crossing with, but they have many traits in common. Lurchers have a powerful prey drive and can run very fast. 

Lurchers are lazy inside the house and are not destructive or produce any difficulty for the home. They are among the calm, kind, affectionate group of dogs. Lurchers are generally quiet dogs, but if the crossing breed is a collie, then the scenario is the total opposite. They don’t require much exercise.

LURCHERS PREY DRIVE

As lurchers have the traits of sighthound, therefore they have a powerful prey drive. They can chase cats and other smaller animals outdoor. It is hard to train lurchers for 100%, and it is not always possible for all lurchers.

Thus, lurchers are very good as pets due to their friendly, loving, calm, and gentle nature.
