Daughter is trying to find answers to a dog quiz but stuck on last question.
What is a Long Dog?
No daft answers please!!! I dont think it is the obvious but googling hasnt helped. Any clever folk out there today?   ;)

long dog is a lurcher, a cross between two sighthound breeds generally.

Cheers Chaumsong..that was quick. Would never have known that one, you learn everyday. :)

Thanks JG

It's a term broadly used to describe fast-running hounds; whippets, greyhounds and lurchers, but is more specifically defined as: a lurcher is originally produced by cross mating two very different breeds of dog, ie; collie x greyhound, with the aim of retaining the speed of the latter and the stamina and tractability of the former . A long dog is originally produced from a cross mating between two pure bred sight hounds, ie; a greyhound x saluki. (Definition from National Lurcher & Racing Club's leaflet: 'The Lurcher & The Long dog')

of course (and as usual :D ) JG is correct. I was a bit distracted at the time but a longdog is " either a purebred greyhound, whippet, deerhound, saluki, wolfhound, borzoi or afghan, or a cross between these breeds" The gospel according to Frank Sheardown (the working longdog). He doesn't mention sloughi, probably none were around when he wrote this but I'd say it's included too.

I thought it was a Dachsund :d :d  Boy and I can't spell it either!

Well fair enough Diane, they are very loooooong dogs :D

Don't worry I thought it was dachshund too
