What breed mixes would you call Lurchers

[Guest crobinc840]

Now I know a Lurcher is a sighthound mixed with a pastoral dog or terrier as stated in the dictionary

But ther are plenty of other breeds bred with a sighthound that are still considered Lurchers. Which breeds would you consider to still be a Lurcher? Which breeds do you think are not Lurchers? (sighthound is a given)

A sighthound x sighthound i.e greyhound x whippet is a longdog were as a sighthound x any non sighthound breeed is a lurcher

Ok so a whippet crossed with a jack russell would be a Lurcher by the rules of it

That whippet jack sounds handy. What do use it for? Bushing? Ratting?

It's not mine it's in a shelter as far as I know. Thanks for the replies. It just seems some mixes are frowned upon because it's not the norm.

that whippet x jack would make a cracking little ferreting and bushing dog!

People are scared of trying something new. But trying something new is a big risk sometimes when we are talking about 10 years of your life with a beast. Also some folk just want something 'different' with more regard to form than function.

Wow do people here actually spend 10 years with the dogs Yes I know some do as I'm one of them. Sometimes the tried and trusted breeding still has poor results but I'm not sure if it comes down to lack of trainning more than the dog itself. Recently it seems the bull mixes are very popular but to me I feel a dog with a bull mouth would crush a rabbit. My Lurcher does have some bull but not much.
