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.
