Its sounds like this dog has become a bit of a joke between lurcherfolk but the truth is regardless of its working ability it has become a liability with other dogs probably through no fault of its own.This sadly is down to ownership all working dogs should be socialized and this would stop a lot of the aggression we are seeing at shows in particular dogs squaring up to each other and some people think its amusing. Lurchers are being given a bad name because owners cant be bothered, stick them in a kennel out the way instead of every day social activities
