Very often sir a lurcher would run with a pack of hounds. A pack may also in its line have a greyhounds blood introduced etc etc. After all they are a hound as is also a whippet.

You’d think, being on such a wee island for such a long time, that you boys would have hashed out all there is fight about by now....
No comment.
That's right Bob .

When greyhounds and lurchers chase a hare it is known has coursing this practice is how banned but when it was legal the greyhound was by not much the faster

Attitudes evolve over time.
HALLOO-HALLOO-See, see from yonder Furze
The Lurchers have alarm'd and started Puss!
Hold! What d'ye do? Sure you don't mean to Fire!
Constrain that base, ungenerous Desire,
And let the Courser and the Huntsman share
Their just and proper Title to the Hare!
Let the poor Creature pass and have fair Play,
And fight the Prize of Life out her own Way.
The tracing Hound by Nature was designed
Both for the Use and Pleasure of Mankind;
Form'd for the Hare, the Hare too for the Hound:
In Enmity each to each other bound:
Then he who dares by diff'rent Means destroy
Than Nature meant, offends 'gainst Nature's Law. . . .
Furze...lurchers...puss...courser...tracing hound....It has always seemed passing strange to me that the English don't speak English.

Spence......Thanks for the poetic liturgy. Next time I'm on the chase up at the hunting camp , I'm sure this will pop into my old brain. Being able to hunt is sacred to me.
After a long day's grouse hunt , us kids and Spotty , the tired English setter ,
would sit in the car outside a bar , drinking Coke's in Hadentown , Pa.. , while the adults would be inside toasting the day. When our dads would come out and we would head home.
Michael , my buddies dad would wax poetic and recite a poem entitled , "The Nimrod".....Early he rises , waking all the house with noise of preparation. He goes forth , returning well beyond the dark. His breath smells of strong drink , and the truth is not in him.
Thanks again...................oldwood
