Lurchers

[showjumpinglover]

does any one konw of anyone who breeds lurchers in Leics.

just enquiring atm, but we would relay like a lurcher in about a year. as we have no dogs now

if any one does please can you pm the details

 

[Maesfen]

Might have a lurcher x basset in a couple of hours, any good?! LOL!

 

[showjumpinglover]

well we dont want to buy just yet, want to leave it for a bit to let things settle down with the neighbors. its a long story.

or a grey hound will do, we love that sort of breed

Consider a rescue when the time is right? you won't be disappointed!
Most breeders of lurchers look for working homes.

 

[showjumpinglover]

it won't be a working home,
i thinnk ive asked this before, but is it the best idea to get a rescue dog, just because you don't know what its been through?

will post pics (in about a year) when we get him/her

 

[Foxyfilly]

Most breeders of lurchers looking for working homes for their pups, but good luck in your search. Its a shame you wont think about a rescue dog as there are loads in rescue unfortunately.

Lurcher Link, my mate has two from there and they are impecibly behaved at all times, and beautiful dogs

 

[showjumpinglover]

thanks, any idea how much they will cost

 

[GinaGem]

Both of mine (in sig) are from Lurcher Link, they are lovely dogs. Not all rescues have issues and you can still get a puppy or young dog

 

[Foxyfilly]

Lurcher Link's adoption fee is £110 for a dog and £130 for bitches. They come neutered, wormed, vaccinated and frontlined.

 

[Acolyte]

And Greyhound Rescue West of England suggest a donation of between £90 and £130, they come with all the same done as for Lurcher Link dogs

 

[showjumpinglover]

actually there not bad prices. Do lurchers link's adoption always have pups in?

 

[Foxyfilly]

Sometimes, they a litter at the moment who are 3 weeks old. The mum was pregnant when rescued.
Generally though it's young dogs

 

[showjumpinglover]

thats good. cant have one atm anyway, but will deffo go there when we get one (either the end of the year or next year).
we deffo prefere young dogs

 

[minerva]

good on you for deciding to go there, you wont regret it

 

[showjumpinglover]

thanks for all the help you guys have given me.

is it actualy in Leics, cuz i can't see the address anywhere on the website

 

[GinaGem]

I believe Kaye who runs it is based in W. Yorks but they also have dogs all over the place as some are in foster care - Bes came from Scotland and Domino from Kent

 

[showjumpinglover]

right ok thanks

I know a chap in Coalville who breeds Greyhound x
Deerhound Lurchers and I have one (8 months old) from his most recent litter. When I have worked out how to do it I will send you his details by PM. I would add that he is not a puppy breeder just someone who has the occasional litter. We're thrilled with the one we got from him.

They are an abused breed but I have 3 rescue lurchers and only one has 'issues' and you deal with them as they come up. I'd never get a dog from anywhere else.

 

[LindaW]

I got a little one from a non specialist rescue and have to say she's a fab little dog, good as gold with my child, great house dog, and super in every way.

 

[showjumpinglover]

thanks guys. we will deffo get one when we can

 

[showjumpinglover]

hopefully getting one (a rescue) next week cant wait
