"A longdog is a crossbreed between two or more sighthound breeds.
The Longdog differs from the Lurcher in that there is no cross to a working or terrier breed. The Longdog is an attempt to create a better game coursing dog, and is not expected to have the working qualities of a good Lurcher, although a few come close. Common longdog crosses are Saluki crossed with Greyhound, Deerhound crossed with Greyhound, and Whippet crossed with Greyhound. These dogs are generally bred for some of the same purposes as the Lurcher, but usually have more speed as opposed to the generally greater endurance and trainability of the Lurcher."
