chartpolski 28,498 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 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 ? Cheers. Quote Link to post

buster gonads 862 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Never had a lurcher with a bad temprement, had some that were shite in the field though , the whippets i know seem to switch off once in the house and make a decent house dog, but i,d prefer the 1/4beddy x 3/4whipp as it would be more use to me, buster.

matt1979 766 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 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 1 Quote Link to post
