A Lurcher will sprint flat out across a field, then spend the rest of the day folded onto the sofa like a deckchair. Owners know the pattern: brief chaos, long nap. Wood Chimps makes personalised gifts for exactly that sort of dog. Our small UK workshop laser cuts and engraves clocks, lead holders, keyrings and signs with your Lurcher's name, so the house finally has a few things that are properly theirs.
About the Lurcher
Lurchers are not a pedigree breed but a type, usually a sighthound such as a Greyhound or Whippet crossed with a collie or terrier, so sizes vary from whippety to tall and rangy. Coats range from smooth to rough and scruffy, often in brindle, fawn or black. What owners notice first is the contrast: a dog capable of astonishing speed that spends most of its time asleep, preferably upside down with legs in the air. They are gentle, quiet and a bit sensitive, happiest leaning against a person. Many owners call theirs a long dog or just the pointy one, and most will tell you that one Lurcher is never enough.
Personalised gifts for your Lurcher
The Personalised Dog Clock carries a Lurcher silhouette and your dog's name, laser cut at 200 x 220mm, for £15. The Personalised Dog Lead Holder is a light grey painted fibre board at 12 x 21cm with two black hooks for lead and poo bags, your dog's name engraved on it and a fill-in walkies time clock, from £6, available in your breed, just tell us. Add a Personalised Dog Breed Keyring at £2.50, a small wooden block etched with name and breed. The Dog Rules for Visitors Sign and the Best Seat in the House Sign both carry the name and breed too. For a Lurcher who has gone, we also make a Pet Memorial Plaque and a Memorial Lantern.

Questions
How does the personalisation work?
Tell us your dog's name and breed at checkout and we engrave or cut it into the item. Personalisation is included in the price, so a Lurcher clock with the name on it costs the same as one without.
Which products come with a Lurcher on them?
The clock, keyring, Dog Rules for Visitors sign and Best Seat in the House sign all come with a Lurcher silhouette and your dog's name. The lead holder is available in your breed too, just tell us when you order.
My Lurcher is a cross, which silhouette will you use?
The silhouette is the breed outline and the name is personalised. We use a Lurcher outline as standard, so tell us at checkout what yours is crossed with and we will match it as closely as we can.
