You know mine so a quick pic

Both 1st Cross.

Skye = Old English Sheepdog X Deerhound. Is he a Lurcher...well that seems to be up for discussion.

Breagh = Black Lab X Pointer.

[Patch]

Skye is definitely a Lurcher
When I met up with a Lurcher expert, [ from Lurcherworld, and he is involved in the Lurcher and Terrier classes and displays at Heritage events ], to whom I introduced my Fluke, I did mention a discussion which was going on here at the time about what constitutes a Lurcher - by his definitions, as well as mine and by many others, Skye is a Lurcher so don`t let anyone tell you different

[Phil]

You're right Patch - he is (by definition) a lurcher BUT is he a typical lurcher = a dog that would do the job of a lurcher ?

Hmm

He's a bit on the heavy side. Fox, no problem, rabit or hare.......he'd struggle a bit now.

His chase instinct (as a cat owner) was very easily 'broken'.

In a straight line he's quick. In the bends he's not bad but he's not as quick as he was.

He's just my big special boy either way.

My Fluke - fast as the wind, can turn on a sixpence - and would rather snuggle up to a small furry, including cats, for a snooze than chase them

Or to put it another way regarding whether or not a dog is what they are by blood depending on if they can / would do their `job - if a Border Collie does`nt herd, does that stop him being a Border Collie - case well and truly rested I think

He IS a lurcher in the same way Fingal IS a gundog LOL
