Hello,
We're hopefully (fingers, toes, legs and eyes crossed) adopting a lurcher puppy next week.
I've had rescue puppies when I was growing up, but they were always robust looking lab crosses. Lurchers are so delicate looking that I'm terrified of doing something wrong.
Any helpful advice or pointing to resources on how to rear a lurcher differently than any other mutt would be really appreciated.
Oh and especially helping it integrate with our cat. The dog won't be allowed upstairs as to give the cat her space and the shelter are going to check which puppies will be suitable for cats.
