South hams hunter 8,921 Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 It's obvious lurchers won't bark and will go with people. Knowone wants a barking lurcher and they probably the most widely sold adult dog breed; anyone can take an adult lurcher and work it the next day, heck i know of dogs lent to people for a day or nights work with no issue at all. a lot of breeds take days/weeks to become accustomed to new surroundings and owners Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully it turned into a happy ending as we got the dogs back. Hopefully it wasn't that happy for Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gilbey 1,430 Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Don't know if living in the house makes a difference, but all of our salukis have been natural watch dogs, it's a trait, the lurchers as well but they probably learnt it. The amount of runners that get stolen proves their no good at actual guarding 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,079 Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I assume being brought up with terriers gives my runners a bit more aggression but I have never had a dog that wouldn’t guard or steam in if needed, my current boy is as soft as shit around me and mine, but the other week a girl came to visit us that has known the dog since I,ve owned him, I never lock the door and she thought it would be funny to come in and surprise us when we got back however she was sat on the top of the boat and the dog wouldn’t let her down, he also nailed a scag head that jumped in the back garden years ago, a dog is a pack animal and should fight and guard its own pack in my opinion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,412 Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 You'd have struggled to get that beardie bellend I had out of his pen and away, from about 4 month old he was guarding. Nobody was getting near me out and about in the dark either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
