How do you take care of Lurchers?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Lurchers need lots of mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behaviour. Obedience training and fetch games are a good way to occupy them, and food is a great reward tool to use in their training. Giving them chew toys or rawhide chews will also help prevent them chewing your best furniture too.


Are Lurchers high maintenance?

When people think of greyhounds or lurchers, they conjure up images of super-fast, competitive dogs speeding off in pursuit of a small fluffy animal. So it's no surprise that we assume these types of dogs are high maintenance, aloof and need huge amounts of exercise.

What does a lurcher need?

For most Lurchers, you should aim for at least 40 minutes of exercise per day. Whilst this goal may seem low, it's all thanks to their sighthound heritage. Contrary to popular belief, sighthounds don't need tons of exercise. In fact, they love to lounge around all day, making them low maintenance pets.

How often should Lurchers be walked?

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.

Can I leave my lurcher alone?

Adult dogs are typically used to spending time alone, so better at coping. Puppies, adolescent dogs and lively versions of the lurcher are more likely to be worry about being left alone alone. This is why we insist they go to families that are around a lot of the time.
