Longdog

A longdog is any dog of sighthound type, purebred or not. In practice it is usually a crossbreed and not a formal breed: the offspring of two sighthounds of different breeds, one of which is usually a Greyhound. A Greyhound crossed with a Deerhound is one example.

The longdog is not the same as the lurcher. A lurcher is a sighthound crossed with a working dog, usually a terrier or a herding dog, while both parents of a longdog are sighthounds. A longdog is generally larger than a feist, which is an American cross.
