Lurchers can make excellent family pets or companion dogs. They are calm, gentle and affectionate and love the company of people. They are also clean dogs with no noticeable ‘doggy’ odour. Lurchers are also excellent with children.
For further information on Lurchers as pets or companion dogs, we are happy to recommend The House Lurcher by Jackie Drakeford, an author who has published many notable books on the subject of the Lurcher.
