EDITORS COMMENTS
Standing Lurcher, 1944 This photograph captures the essence of a Lurcher, a beloved crossbreed dog that emerged from the union of a Greyhound or other Sighthound with a Working or Terrier breed. The image, taken in 1944, showcases a smooth-coated Lurcher standing proudly against a rustic backdrop. The dog's piercing gaze and alert posture convey a sense of intensity and focus, typical of the breed's hound heritage. Lurchers, also known as 'poor man's racehorse,' have been a part of the British Isles' rich canine history for centuries. They were traditionally bred for hunting, with their Greyhound ancestry providing the speed and sight, and the Terrier or Working breed contributing tenacity and determination. This unique blend of traits makes Lurchers versatile hunting companions and loyal family pets. The Standing Lurcher in this photograph embodies the breed's striking appearance, with its long, slender body, muscular build, and elegant head. The dog's ears are alert and forward, while its tail is curled over its back, a common posture among Lurchers. The smooth, short coat, which can range from various shades of fawn, red, or black, adds to the breed's sleek and agile appearance. This photograph is an enchanting reminder of the history and charm of the Lurcher breed, which continues to captivate dog lovers and enthusiasts around the world. The Standing Lurcher, with its captivating gaze and poised demeanor, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of these crossbreed canines.
