About lurchers

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.

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.

Are there lurcher puppies for sale in Manchester?

No. Rescues rehome lurchers for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In and around Manchester today, lurchers are listed by Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary (at Ramsbottom, about 12 miles away), Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home (at Warrington, about 16 miles away) and Windyway Animal Rescue (at Macclesfield, about 16 miles away), and 2 other rescues. Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary asks £250 for a dog, Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home £200 for an adult dog and Windyway Animal Rescue £160 for a dog or puppy.

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

Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing lurchers in and around Manchester today, the published fees run from £160 at Windyway Animal Rescue to £250 at Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
