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.

  • 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.)

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 Scotland?

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 Scotland today, lurchers are listed by Mrs Murray's Home for Stray Dogs & Cats (at Aberdeen), Dumfries and Galloway Canine Rescue Centre (at Glencaple) and Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home (at Edinburgh), and 1 other rescue. Mrs Murray's Home for Stray Dogs & Cats asks £250 to £400 for a dog, Dumfries and Galloway Canine Rescue Centre a minimum of £220 and Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home £250 for a dog aged 6 months to 9 years.

Can I get a free lurcher to a good home in Scotland, 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 Scotland today, the published fees run from £220 at Dumfries and Galloway Canine Rescue Centre to £400 at Mrs Murray's Home for Stray Dogs & Cats. Every one of those is under £500. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page.
