What lurchers are like to live with

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 6 of the 18 lurchers listed in and around Stockton-on-Tees 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 Stockton-on-Tees?

The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there lurcher puppies for sale in Stockton-on-Tees?

The 18 lurchers listed in and around Stockton-on-Tees today are with Maxi's Mates at Guisborough, about 11 miles away (14) and Durham Dogs & Cats Home at Coxhoe, about 13 miles away (4), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

If you searched "lurcher puppies for sale Stockton-on-Tees", 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 Stockton-on-Tees, or one under £500?

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.
