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".

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. Today the rescues mark 10 of the 19 lurchers listed in and around Liverpool as able to live with children. 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 Liverpool?

The lurchers listed in and around Liverpool today are with North Clwyd Animal Rescue at Trelogan, about 16 miles away (9), Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home at Warrington, about 16 miles away (4), Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling, about 7 miles away (3) and 3 other rescues; 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 Liverpool?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every lurcher on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 19 lurchers listed in and around Liverpool today are with North Clwyd Animal Rescue at Trelogan, about 16 miles away (9), Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home at Warrington, about 16 miles away (4), Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling, about 7 miles away (3) and 3 other rescues, 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 Liverpool", 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 Liverpool, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 19 lurchers listed in and around Liverpool today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling, about 7 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 Liverpool?

Not right now: none of the 19 listed in and around Liverpool 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.
