Usually ran by the coursing crew, and usually expensive to get in, im going to see what the weather is doing before I pay.

The Lurcher is not an actual breed of dog but rather a type of dog, which usually has a member of the sighthound family for one of its parents. Sighthound breeds include the Greyhound, Whippet, Deerhound, Borzoi and Sluki. Other breeds commonly found within the family tree of a Lurcher include Border Collies and Bedlington Terriers.

 

This multiple crossing of breeds produces dogs that are exceptionally versatile in their use in the field. They are silent hunters, using exceptional speed and stamina to run down game, but they are also highly intelligent and make gentle, loyal companions.

Terriers.

The Terrier breeds were originally developed for hunting vermin of all shapes and sizes and priority was given to their working ability rather than appearance. They are an extremely tough and hardy group of dogs and generally small in size, enabling them to work underground. The term 'terrier' derives from 'terra', the latin word for earth.
