Technicaly; a "Longdog" is a pure sighthound or a cross between sighthounds; i.e. a Whippet/Saluki/Greyhound would be a "Longdog".

 

A "Lurcher" is usualy a sighthound crossed with anything else.

 

I have one of each, but find it simpler to refer to them both as "Lurchers" !

 

Cheers.

So a saluki x greyhound is a long dog but a saluki bull greyhound is a lurcher.

[chartpolski 24,209]

So a saluki x greyhound is a long dog but a saluki bull greyhound is a lurcher.

 

Yes, but does it make a difference if both are refered to as "Lurchers" ?

 

Cheers.
