How long can a lurcher be left alone?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

However, even if their basic needs are met, you should never leave your Lurcher alone and unsupervised for more than 8 hours a day.


Do Lurchers suffer from separation anxiety?

Luckily, it is unusual for adult greyhounds to suffer from true separation anxiety. 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.

How often should you walk a lurcher?

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 many hours do Lurchers sleep?

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.

How much exercise does a lurcher need everyday?

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.
