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".

Sources (checked 30 September 2026)

  • Dogs Trust: Lurcher (Lurchers vary with the breeds in the mix; Battersea describes them as medium to large, with a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years.)

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. None of the 2 lurchers listed in Nottinghamshire is marked by its rescue as able to live with children today. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
