Are Lurcher Dogs Good With Other Dogs?

    Already have a pet dog? If you are aiming to bring in an additional dog to your existing family, you'll want to find a dog that blends well with others.

    There are dogs that are friendly with human beings but that does not necessarily indicate that they are friendly with other canines. Hence, it is crucial to know more about the breed's temperament and characteristics when selecting the ideal addition to the household.

    It makes sense - if you want multiple dogs in your residence (and we can't condemn you if you do!), of course, you would want them to get on.

    Here are a few breeds that are known to mesh with other dogs and considered dog friendly breeds.

    Top 5 Dog Friendly Breeds

    1. Labrador Retriever - Friendly, gentle, intelligent and eager to satisfy, the Labrador Retriever is an excellent hunting friend and family dog.

    2. Bernese Mountain Dog - A dog breed that is calm, sensitive, and is excellent with other household pets. They are also extremely good with young children and strangers.

    3. Golden Retriever - With their gleaming golden-colored coat and their cute nature, the Golden Retriever is one of the most in demand breeds and they are very welcoming with everyone and that includes dogs, cats and other family pets.

    4. Havenese - These dogs are really lively and passionate towards well, practically everyone which does include other dogs and non-canine pets.

    5. Beagle - This stable small hound dog with its love for outdoors is delighted to be around people and just about everyone. It loves friendship of both humans and other dogs. When socialized early, beagles are terrific around other non-canine pets as well.

Lurcher Information

The Lurcher has a short coat and a smooth undercoat that thickens in the winter. The legs are long and straight. The chest is deep, providing lung capacity for endurance. The small, wire-haired ears are high set. The small, dark eyes are round and alert. Colors vary widely since the Lurcher is derived from sighthound crosses. There is also a longhaired variety.

Temperament is also variable, again dependent on parental influence. As could be expected, lurchers with dominant sighthound attributes have similar temperaments—often fairly lazy with a good eye—however, accordingly, others are influenced by their other, often more tractable, biddable, and slower parent. As with all dogs, temperament will be modified by socialising the puppy.
