chartpolski 24,035 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'd say 6' isn't realy a problem to any decent fit Lurcher. Mine are 23" and 29", and both will go over a 6' fence. Cheers. Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 ive recently had to get rid of one of mine because i couldnt keep him in kept jumping over my back gate and thats nearly seven foot the dog warden picked him up twice.so the answer is it depends how much they want to get out . 1 Quote Link to post
yappy 3 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Recently had a jack russel terrier that went over our 6ft featheredge fence to go play with the kids and their lab in the garden behind. My lurcher has never bothered but could easily clear it if he wanted. Edited July 5, 2011 by yappy Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Two feet of wire around the top of the pen facing in-wards will help prevent him from jumping. But yes is the answer to your question, same of the other replys. Quote Link to post
Richie10 345 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Mine would just open the gate, too lazy to jump. Quote Link to post
j1985 1,984 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 As a kid my mate had a collie x that would climb a 6ft fence easy, he'd throw a tennis ball as far as he could down his street and his dog would garden hop every fence and retrieve the ball!! Good workout but I bet the neighbours foooking hated it lol Quote Link to post

Lab 10,979 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 ..........classic thread. Just wondered how high these lurchers can actually jump then, thats to anybody that said they clear 6ft 'by ease'.............and for the terrier 'clearing' yes 'clearing 6ft........ Quote Link to post
fcuktheban 140 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 And I thought it was something when my pup cleared 4ft I need to get her back in the gym and doing some squats Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,494 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Mine can clear pheasant pen sections when encouraged but I bet I could keep him in a 4ft high pen or garden wall and he wouldn't jump out. I'd fix the fence if he could aswell, fancy getting rid of a dog because it could jump out 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,484 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Mine will clear that easily that's why i had to put a roof on my kennel and run Quote Link to post
