lurcher

Hi everyone, We have a seven month old lurcher puppy who is absolutely great. However, we are experiencing a major problem with his behaviour whenever he is outside (walk, garden, or going to the toilet). It has been happening for about 3 months now and we do have a trainer but we aren't seeing...

Hi everyone, Our six month old lurcher puppy needs a new harness. The problem we are having is that he has slightly odd body proportions due to his mix (mainly a greyhound x beagle x foxhound + many other breeds) and his current harness fits in some areas but not others. Due to him being a...

The English Deerhound was an extinct breed, lost to the historical fields and hedges of England. So far back in history its name could only be heard through myth and legend. David Platt's had a vision, a goal. To recreate the English Deerhound, dragging the breed back through the fossil records...

So, summer’s almost here and with the heat, the hound’s sweltering. I’ve seen other longhair Lurchers who’ve had a close-crop and they look good and seem cooler somehow. But I’ve also read (somewhere, not sure where) that cutting into the lower, Merino coat isn’t a good idea because it might...

This is Flossy... She’s around 4-5 years old, a Bedlington-Whippet Lurcher. She’s been with us for a couple of years and is much loved by us and everyone who meets her. Recently, I found a little lump, about the size of my thumbnail, next to one of her nipples. Took her to vet who...

Hello everyone, I'm in desperate need of help with my Lurcher/Collie/whippet/deerhound. Think she is more Collie mixed, she is from a rescue centre. We have had her for over a year now. She is a clever dog and sits when she wants a treat and even gives her paw. Recently something has...

Hello I’ve ran my dog in lurcher races and she’s a greyhound x whippet x saluki, is she classed as a non ped whippet? And what is a non ped whippet compared to a long dog? Is a non ped just whippet x greyhound?

Hi everyone! :) Nearly 3 weeks ago I rescued a 6 month old lurcher puppy from Spain. She has a wonderful temperament, very friendly and happy and we have been working hard on her house training and obedience training, which is going well. The thing I am really stuck with is walkies. I kept...

Handsome Murphy is a 5 year old Hancock dog ( 5/8 x 3/8 collie x Greyhound) and is rough coated grey brindle and white. He's quite a long dog, about 26-27ins TTS. He's come from a family home, but lived out as he was a working dog. We're working on housetraining at the moment as he's in The...

Misty is about a year old and is a really tiny Bedlington x (allegedly Whippet, but she's only about 10-12ins TTS.) She has all the usual terrier traits - she's feisty, yappy and thinks she's a Rottweiler!! She is NOT an easy dog for a novice dog owner! She needs someone who understands how...
