I agree on the fact most lurchers should mark to ground but you have got to be doing enough of the quarry on a regular basis to tune their noses in I think and this can only come with age or experience it's not something that I'd say was automatically built in to a lurcher

All dogs have the ability to mark you just need to bring it out of them. My old dog marked different quarry in different ways which was a godsend especially when checking earths.

one of my dogs marks rabbits only and the other marks anything

 

a mate owned a dog that would mark nothing but fox to ground , was a handy dog to have around when out digging you could garuntee if he marked a hole there was a fox in it no matter how rabbitty it looked ..

some dogs seem to almost instinctively know how to mark, almost from their first trip out as pups, others can even after years be a bit unreliable, but most dogs given fair opportunity will learn to indicate the presence of quarry. however ive seen individuals which just didnt have the patience or focus to hold a mark for very long, and if the ferret didnt flush in the first five minutes they would get bored and distracted. i think this is partly down to how they are entered, partly down to the dogs nature
