Exercise Requirements Pet lurchers love company and so they make ideal companions. They are suited to active homes but if they get sufficient exercise they can often be quite lazy dogs at home. Lurchers seem to prefer snoozing somewhere warm and comfortable in the house. Preferably on the sofa or even your bed.
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.
Are Lurchers good house dogs?
You can visit your nearest Dogs Trust rehoming centre, or look up breed-specific rescues in your area to find the right dog for you. As with any dog, if children are sensible and calm around them, Greyhounds and Lurchers can make great family pets and should not pose a problem in families with young children.
How many walks do you need for a lurcher?
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.
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.
