Gentle giant Hardy is ready to settle down. Hardy came to the Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals as a stray, who was nervous and afraid. Now he has adjusted to life in the kennels and will make an excellent companion.
Hardy is a Lurcher which means he is most likely a greyhound mixed with another breed. Lurchers are big dogs, with a natural tendency to prey on smaller animals, not always ideal for those with cats or small dogs. They are relatively low maintenance dogs with shorter hair and moderate shedding.
Lurchers usually do better with small spurts of exercise and gentle walks, followed by plenty of relaxing. This type of dog is ideal for someone who cannot commit to walking multiple times a day. Lurchers are playful and Hardy is a friendly dog, but most of all he loves to chill out after a nice walk.
Lurcher owners describe their dogs as special. The dogs are passionate about their owners, and love children fiercely. They love cuddles, and are always up for a bit of mischief.
Hardy is described as nervous and friendly, with a calm temperament like that it won’t be hard to integrate the goofy pup into your life.
CSPCA estimates Hardy is between three and four years old,with an average lifespan of up to 15 years Hardy could bring your family mountains fun for years on end. Hardy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date with vaccines and parasite treatment. There is a cost of €250 to adopt a dog from CSPCA, but don’t you think Hardy is worth it?
