Lurcher

The Lurcher is a unique and versatile dog breed known for its agility, speed, and affectionate nature, often resulting from a cross between a sighthound, like a Greyhound or Whippet, and a terrier or herding breed. Traditionally bred for hunting and poaching, Lurchers are now cherished as loyal companions and excel in various dog sports due to their intelligence and adaptability.
