Are lurcher dogs good family dogs

[planete]

We have a terrier and none of the lurchers we fostered was ever aggressive towards him. It was the terrier we had to watch!

Well mine was another one. She I used to play with the terriers but was never threatening.

My first was fine too but I had her from a pup, I wonder if the kennels really don't suit them and creates issues, ut mine is the only one of our lot that everyone plays with

Ours was a rescue, I always thought what an excellent job travellers did with socialisation!

My late JRT's daughter died after a fight with a lurcher.

I wonder more if its the stress when they are at the kennels rather than the after effect, I dont know, i haven't had any issue with mine although the current one used to be completely crazy around other dogs but mad not nasty.
The lurcher we had come through the vets that had belonged to the travellers were never well socialised though and most of the working lurcher men I know won't let their lurcher and terriers out together unless working but thats cos the terriers often cause trouble and the lurcher finish it

There is that, Sash would not have taken aggression from any dog, although she was perfectly polite with polite dogs.
