I'll admit I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer and further admit I know nothing about coursing other than what I've learned from this site. I'd be quickly thrown in jail if I were to turn a sighthound loose here in this part of the States except on a lure coursing field (and a crossbred lurcher would never be allowed on the course in the first place). I read Mr. Shitter's informative post and looked at the Hancock website. It appears his dogs are not worked or evaluated in the field and are bred to some standard he and his daughter have determined.

My question is this; how should a proper lurcher or cross be evaluated for breeding? What are they expected to do and what level of performance should they meet? I've been actively reading some of the English "old poacher" tales and all I can gather is that owning, breeding and training a lurcher was historically a serious offense if caught and that the good ones were few and far between. What made/makes a lurcher "a good one"? Thanks for any insight.
