What lurchers are like to live with

A lurcher is a type, not a breed. Dogs Trust describes it as a sighthound, such as a Greyhound, Whippet or Saluki, crossed with another breed such as a Collie or Terrier. Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home says lurchers "are not actually a recognised breed".

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the lurchers on this page are with Animal Care Lancaster Morecambe & District (6), Eden Animal Rescue (4) and Wolfwood (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

What is a lurcher?

A lurcher is a sighthound, such as a Greyhound, Whippet or Saluki, crossed with another breed such as a Collie or Terrier, as Dogs Trust puts it. It is a type rather than a recognised breed, so lurchers vary in size and coat.

What is the difference between a lurcher and a greyhound?

A greyhound is a pedigree breed; a lurcher is a cross. Dogs Trust names the lurcher as one common greyhound crossbreed, a mix of a sighthound like a Greyhound, Saluki or Whippet with a Collie or Terrier, and says lurchers can be long-haired or short-haired. Blue Cross says they often share similar traits to greyhounds.

Are lurchers good with children?

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 11 lurchers listed in and around Kendal today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

How much does it cost to adopt a lurcher in Kendal?

The lurchers listed in and around Kendal today are with Animal Care Lancaster Morecambe & District at Lancaster, about 20 miles away (6), Eden Animal Rescue at Penrith, about 23 miles away (4) and Wolfwood at Ellel, about 23 miles away (1); each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there lurcher puppies for sale in Kendal?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every lurcher on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 11 lurchers listed in and around Kendal today are with Animal Care Lancaster Morecambe & District at Lancaster, about 20 miles away (6), Eden Animal Rescue at Penrith, about 23 miles away (4) and Wolfwood at Ellel, about 23 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. If you searched "lurcher puppies for sale Kendal", the lurchers here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free lurcher to a good home in Kendal, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 11 lurchers listed in and around Kendal today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Animal Care Lancaster Morecambe & District at Lancaster, about 20 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Are there lurcher puppies for adoption in Kendal?

Not right now: none of the 11 listed in and around Kendal is under a year old by its listed age. Puppies do get listed, so check back or look at the adults, whose rescues can tell you much more about their character.
