Most Lurchers are placid, but why a Lurcher for a house dog/pet ? Will you also work it ? If not, then it's not realy fair on the dog. Why not just get a pet type dog ? :thumbs:

 

Cheers.

Grew up with various different lurchers and sighhounds as a kid and all had good temps, but as you said every dog is different and you should be looking at the parents closely to see their temps. I would say the greyhound and deerhound crosses were the most placid, but dont think you will go far wrong with a pure whippet from sound parents. My old man has a beddy cross and although its chilled out when exercised well, i have found him to be less placid than the other dogs i grew up with and certainly not as good with other dogs. That said it may just be a one off cheers Matt
