The word is defined on several dog websites e.g. [1] as a cross between two sighthound breeds. I guess the hoax tag can go now. 82.26.163.0 15:06, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Definition
"Long dog" is also defined on several sites (e.g. [2]) as "Any hunting dog which is a large and 'long' dog; with intimations of slenderness rather than bulk. Includes greyhounds, Pharaoh hounds, Salukis, Afghans, most lurchers", not something separate from lurchers. Anyone know how to figure this out definitively? Elf | Talk 01:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
The classic British definition of a "longdog" is a cross between two sighthounds. A longdog is a type of "lurcher", and should be included as such on that page. See Walsh "Lurchers and Longdogs" 1977. The description, definition & photo currently on the Longdog page of a longdog being a cross between a pointer and a spaniel is patently incorrect and it is also illogical. It should be removed. The original author needs to clarify what is meant by "a pedigree with a green coat"Richard Hawkins (talk) 14:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
