Lurchers are a crodss between a grayhound and any other hound, and you can get them from grayhound rescue.
beautiful anumals, loyal and great company. They're usually a tad smaller than a full grayhound which is a plus, as they really are tall animals. They can sometimes be as small as a whippet and can be short or long haired. But whatever, they have great personalities.
I'd have a lurcher any time.
