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)
