    Home wanted for LURCHER

    I am looking for a good home for a fell-running lurcher.

    He is a 2y8m rough-coated neutered male, about 24 inches, white with brindle patches. Breeding unknown but possible greyhound x collie x saluki. He's vaccinated, deflead, dewormed and has a pet passport. He is very friendly with people and dogs but has a high prey drive and needs to be on lead around sheep + will chase cats. He is very fast and has fair bit of stamina e.g. has run Langdale horseshoe route. But equally happy to lie on a sofa all day long.

    He needs a home because he is getting bullied by my other dogs- he's quite a softie- not because there is anything wrong with him! He really loves children. Please ask around if you think you might know anyone who could be interested. I'd be willing to contribute to his upkeep if necessary.

    Sorry I cannot help you direct, I am involved with Greyhound rescue in the NE, and know of a similar organisation nearer you, maybe you could ask their assistance:

    That description sums up both of my hounds, and they are supposed to be bred to run

    Good to see he is settling in with his new family
