That one day in the future you will wake up with a dead dog and a badly injured dog in your kennel . . . .

If there both young and getting brought up together shouldn't have problem.I'v new people who have done this and had no problems.would have problems if they wernt brought up at you age together.

if raised together from pup would they not just get on? i aint claiming to know, just thought they would, and if not how come? kept different types of dog together in house, retriever, terrier amd a colliex for a while they were sound.

If they're both bitches I wouldn't, personally. Dog and bitch might be OK.

For those that say 'wouldnt they just get on' - terriers are natural wind up merchants and altough not gaurenteed, it is VERY likely that at some point a fight will break out, over a chew, a bone, or even (and i've seen this) from the terrier just not letting the lurcher in the sleeping compartment or something equally as petty. At that point what usually happens is that the lurcher shakes the terrier to death, while the terrier inflicts horrendous wounds on the running dogs legs, chest, throat. Now it may well not happen, but if you come home to find that scene. . . . you'll wish you built another kennel.
