Publisher's Synopsis
A bit of a 'mongrel', the Lurcher is not only a crossbreed, but one that can be composed of a variety of different breeds, meaning that Lurchers are one of the most diverse types of dogs about. Most will be athletically-built with rangy, slender bodies. Their fur may be short or medium in length and can sometimes give them an unkempt appearance. Practically any coat colour is possible, though many are grey and fawn.
Traditionally kept as hunting dogs, some individuals continue to carry out this function today. They are quite easy to train and have very high prey drives, which can sometimes get them into trouble! Their kind spirit and dedicated nature mean that, despite their working background, they adapt well to life in a family home.
