Lurcher dogs boast a range of coat lengths and colors, including black, white, brown, or combinations, depending on their mix. Their coats can be rough, smooth, or somewhere in-between. While their athletic build requires regular exercise, Lurchers also enjoy family time, playing well with children and other pets. With intelligence and a gentle temperament, they excel in obedience and agility training.
