The Lurcher #322401

The Lurcher is the first designer cross-breed, and distinctly British in origin. These dogs are a cross between one or more sight hounds — such as the Greyhound, Whippet, Saluki, or Deerhound — and one or more pastoral working breeds, most popularly the Border Collie, or a terrier. Sometimes there is no pastoral blood at all, and they are then really ‘longdogs’ (a cross between two or more sight hounds), although all mixtures are popularly called Lurchers. Created using soft pastels and a digital touch.
