Laila - 1 year old female Saluki cross Lurcher

We’ve decided to call her Laila but obviously she doesn’t respond to it yet, she a female Saluki cross Lurcher aged around 1 year old, possibly a bit younger. She’s about 23/24 inches to the shoulder and a little underweight at the moment but is eating well. She has been very good with other dogs, I think she would really benefit from a confident dog to look after her.

She loves playing with both dogs and bitches and seems happy with various sizes. Another Lurcher or long legged pal to race with is probably her preferred choice! She has been brilliant with my two cats, one of whom is very confident, the other much more shy. She has ignored them both only once giving a little growl to the confident one but I think he was sniffing at her food at the time so that’s fair enough. I’m obviously not leaving them alone together at the moment and would recommend caution to any new owner but I feel happy to say she could live with a cat.

She has not met any children properly but due to her timid nature and the fact she’s easily spooked I would recommend no children. I know plenty of kids learn to be quiet around dogs but their friends may not be! She doesn’t snap in fear or anything but then we’ve never pushed her. She either freezes and shuts down or bolts so caution recommended around doors!

She is generally good on the lead but bounces when wants to play and could be strong when she gets her confidence. An older/frail person could be pulled over. She has been totally clean in the house (we’ve given her lots of opportunities to go out thoughout the day) and has gone all through the night. She does bark at unknown noises but is otherwise quiet.

Like all Lurchers she considers sofas and beds to be her birthright but is learning “off” for when we want to squeeze on/go to bed.In short she’s a very sweet little girl with a really beautiful nature that anyone would be proud to take home. Every walk so far, someone has complimented her as she is very pretty.

She will need a quiet gentle person who is willing to give her all the time she needs to settle. she does get scared in a new situation but quickly warms to it if patient. We try to be bright and breezy and not give her a chance to worry but if she does then she needs just a minute or two to readjust then she’s fine.
