Boxers Dogs - Lurcher!

Post by DG. »

Seems a few wanted to know what a Lurcher is.

Michael Jennings has a Lurcher or 2 apparently.


I know Tyson had a Tiger or Lion - wtf?!

Any other Boxers have Dogs?

Crap thread but so what!

They look like Greyhounds to me DG.

I thought a Lurcher was bigger and hairier.

I shall go away and consult some other sources and then return.

it would appear that you have indeed posted a picture of Lurchers after all :TU:

it is a "type" rather than a "breed" of dog according to wikipedia. So as all Lurchers are crossbreeds they can be a small as a whippet or as large as a deerhound. "Coat types range from being short and smooth, like that of a greyhound, to slightly longer and thicker like that of a collie, to rough and broken like that of a terrier".

So for an entertaining as well as educational boxing forum, make it Boxrec every time :bow:

in fact it's nigh on impossible not to always be right with statements like:

Michael Jennings has a lurcher OR 2.....

Mike Tyson had a Lion OR a Tiger...
