Lurche

Product Information

Too far off from great cities, which may hinder business; too near them, which lurcheth all provisions, and maketh everything dear. Lurchers were developed as an aid for poachers, to be a sighthound with a modicum of intelligence, who could help these poachers to score game for themselves and their families. A Lurcher can be the result of several crosses with some dogs being small thanks to their parent breeds being Bedlington Terriers and Whippet crosses whereas other Lurchers are a lot larger with their parent breeds being Deerhound and Wolfhound crosses

All reputable Lurcher breeders would always ensure their puppies vaccinated before they are sold but as previously mentioned it is up to their new owners to make sure they are given their follow-up shots at the right time which should be as follows:Lurchers are very lean and compactly built dogs. They belong to the category of long dogs with elongated features and body shape. Lifespan: So how long do lurchers live? Depending upon the size of the dog, the lurcher lifespan can be an average of 13 to 15 years. This can be shortened dramatically by the occurrence of health problems such as aggressive cancers. Lurcher Care All Lurcher puppies would have been wormed before being sold but it's important to keep worming them at regular intervals to ensure they stay healthy. The worming schedule to follow is as follows:

Older Lurchers are not fussy eaters but this does not mean they can be fed a lower quality diet. It's best to feed a mature dog twice a day once in the morning and then again in the evening making sure it's good quality food that meets all their nutritional requirements. Because Lurchers are predisposed to suffering from bloat it's essential they not be exercised straight after having been fed and to wait until they have cooled down before feeding them too.

Acta Zool. Cracov. 27 (1): 3-18A lot of vets these days recommend waiting until dogs are slightly older before spaying and neutering them which means they are more mature before undergoing the procedures As such they advise neutering males and spaying females when they are between the ages of 6 to 9 months old and sometimes even when a dog is 12 months old which is the case for Lurchers. Anyone who has any concerns as to when a dog should be spayed or neutered should discuss things with a vet. What about obesity problems? The main intention of creating the lurcher dog breed was to take the instincts of a sighthound and improve them by combining them with a more intelligent dog. The resulting animal would be able to chase bunnies, hares, deer, or game birds, and hunt them more efficiently. They’re very mischievous, in an endearing way, and are always on the lookout for ways to get one over on their owners and steal some treats. First of all, the lurcher is a cross breed, which means that they’re not pedigree dogs and as such, aren’t recognised by the Kennel Club. There’s no breed standard in place for the lurcher dog type, and they can’t be entered into Kennel Club breed shows. Hallowell, E. 1861.

To help prevent this, it might be a good idea to use a foraging mat to slow the rate of food consumption. For an active high-energy dog, Lurchers suffer from surprisingly few joint and muscle complications, though arthritis is inevitable in later years.It’s advised not to let pet lurchers off the lead, unless it’s within a closed area that the dog can’t run out off. Otherwise, the chances that the dog instinctively takes off in pursuit of a perceived prey are very, very high. Wallach, Van; Kenneth L. Williams , Jeff Boundy 2014.
