Following my previous thread asking for suggestions for a suitable breed of dog for us we have today been to see a lurcher pup at the blue cross.
He is nearly 6 months old - spent his life in the care of the blue cross and is very sweet. He was very interested in us but he did cry a bit and was a bit nervous but he seemed ok with the children (2 & 4) and was lovely looking..... but am a bit concerned about how much work it is going to be training a dog of that age and I want to be sure he is going to be good with the kids (we will of course supervise but want to make sure they are not going to get bitten).
Am a dog owning virgin so am not sure whether to take this opportunity and go for it or think about it some more.
Any lurcher owners out there?
