Talk to me about Lurchers

We had to get our boy (miniature schnauzer) put to sleep last year, so sad and miss having a dog so much. Anyway we've been visiting rescue centres for the last 3 months, one got in touch yesterday to say they think they've found us a match. She's a 3 yr old Lurcher, apparently very laid back, happy to walk with other dogs and loves lazing around. She looks beautiful!
I've not had any experience of Lurchers before, my last dog before our schnauzer was a black lab, and grew up with spaniels.
Just wanting to hear from any other Lurcher owners about their dogs and the traits typical to the breed.
I've got two sensible dc 11 and 14 so also wondering what Lurchers are like with older children.
Many thanks

Lurchers? Lazy, thieving, sometimes snooty, chase anything with a fluffy tail and very mischievous........

.......which is why I love mine to bits.

Ours is a rescue,we call her TBL for short - Thieving Bastard Lurcher Grin as left unsupervised she will snaffle anything & everything,from the contents of the bin to fruit from the fruit bowl (we once found her asleep with an orange one morning,totally untouched!!!)
Aside from that she is fantastic with the kids,great with other dogs & on the lead & very adorable,her recall leaves a lot to be desired though.
