Lurcher puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

The Lurcher originated in the British Isles, developed as a hunting dog for poachers who needed a quiet, fast, and intelligent dog that could track, chase, and retrieve game. By crossing sighthounds with working breeds, hunters created a dog that combined speed with problem-solving ability and endurance. Lurchers were never formally recognized as a breed but were highly valued for their working ability and versatility. Today, they are cherished both as companions and as participants in sporting activities like coursing and agility.
