Contrary to what people usually think, Greyhounds and Lurchers are often couch potatoes and need very little exercise. They like nothing more than to cosy up on a comfy bed and snooze in a warm home, being quite lazy at heart.
Do Lurchers sleep a lot?
These noble hounds are actually couch potatoes who may sleep for as much as 16 to 18 hours a day on comfy bed or sofa, often with their legs stuck out at the most peculiar angles.
Do Lurchers need a lot of exercise?
How much exercise does a Lurcher need? Lurchers require at least two walks a day, and need the option to stretch their legs out for at least one of their walks. Given they have a strong prey drive, many owners opt to keep their Lurchers on the lead when out and about.
How energetic are Lurchers?
For the most energetic Lurchers, we're talking about upwards of 1-hour exercise a day and longer at times. For this reason, they are best at home on larger plots of land. That said, some Lurchers will have less appetite for exercise – it just depends on the breeding.
Are Lurchers high energy dogs?
They are speedy but only use it in short bursts where they use up usually all of their energy in one sprint and then promptly retire off to find a comfy bed, they are stealthy but rarely graceful dogs who are goofy rather than athletic looking.
