Working Lurchers & Lurcher Crosses

The working lurcher is an amazing animal, it can possess when crossed with the right breeds speed, endurance, nose, intelligence and gameness.

The main sighthound breeds used to produce hunting lurchers are the greyhound, saluki, whippet and deerhound, these are put across base breeds to add additional qualities to the sighthounds speed and hunting instinct.

The most common of these base breeds being the working border/bearded collie, bedlington terrier, bull terrier and wheaten terrier, basically any breed of dog crossed with a sighthound is a lurcher.

Longdogs are composites of the sighthound breeds, the most popular being the saluki, deerhound, whippet and greyhound hybrids.

Lurchers can be multipurpose hunting dogs, from lamping using spotlight at night, to coursing hares by day, or dispatching vermin such as fox/coyote for pest control.
They really are the ultimate hunting dogs with their quarry rangeing from rats, rabbits, hare, fox, deer and more...

I love em!!!
