Kate, we obviously all would hope that you'd outlive any lucky dog you'd choose to adopt, but if you did go ahead and adopt the lurcher pup and Gus did eventually have to take on your dogs; I'd be very concerned about the lurcher interacting with Gus' cats.... Lurchers are hunting dogs and very fast and most - admittedly not all, but most - will chase a cat; usually only in play to start with but when the cat runs off the natural instinct comes out and you may have a potential recipe for disaster.
And same goes for greyhounds.....
Good luck with finding your perfect companion pooch - that'll be one lucky dog
Have sent you a pm ..Thankyouxx
