What type of coat does a Lurcher have?
Many lurchers have a single layer of hair, and thus technically have hair coats rather than fur coats. A fur coat on a dog means two layers, the soft linty undercoat and the stiffer topcoat of 'guard' hairs.
Do lurchers have a double coat?
Lurcher Breed Maintenance Many of the Shepherding dogs may contribute a double layer coat which can sometimes be thicker and require more grooming and dogs with wire-haired Terrier influence may have a coat that requires occasional stripping.
Are lurchers long-haired?
They can come with short hair comparable to that of a Greyhound. Or they can have a longer, harsher coat similar to that of a sheepdog or long-haired terrier breed. As previously mentioned, many Lurchers have body types similar to greyhounds. But, others will favor their terrier type parents or herding dog parents.
Do lurchers shed fur?
If you're very house-proud, the lurcher is probably the perfect dog for you. This is because a lurcher's coat can range from smooth to rough-coated, they only shed maybe once or twice a year resulting in them making ideal house-dogs.
