Does My Lurcher Need a Coat?

Also remember that lurchers are a Funny Shape, as someone put it. Standard dog coats will not fit, being either too tight over that deep chest or too loose around that narrow tummy. And lurchers who do zoomies require well-fastened coats, or you will find the two parting company in seconds.

Do lurchers feel the cold?

They vary, lots. I have seen lurchers out-running kids on sledges in the snow - or pulling kids on sledges. But if they are standing around and not running - yes then some really do suffer from the cold.

What do I need for a lurcher?

As a general rule lurchers as pets are great . They do need more exercise than the greyhounds and are not so good at being left. If you work you will need to have other dogs or doggie day care solutions. They also need a fully secure garden – so 6 foot fences to keep the dog safe.
