You absolute hero!

Lithe and leggy, Lurchers sway between being lounge lizards to sprinting bursts á la Usian Bolt. They can also be a bit needy for human affection, and tend not to agree with a telling-off.
Medium to high volume shedders, they do need a good comb regularly. A strong daily sprint keeps them on track too.
Affectionate, kind-spirited dogs - but who really know what's going on behind that fixed stare?
An intelligent dog, certainly so when scavenging for food.
They can range from highly-affectionate to hyperactive and are good around families and children if raised around them. Smaller pets can be seen as 'prey' for the chase tend not to fare well.

Elegant as befits the breed.
Lurchers tend not to suffer from too many health issues, although typical conditions can include Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (also known as GDV or Bloat) and corns.
Lurchers' high energy levels make them better suited to suburban / rural life.
