•   Lurcher Dog Info This page will help you if you want to know more about Lurchers and Greyhounds. Lurchers have a reputation for being large—the typical poacher's dog. But the truth is they can be all shape and sizes. A lurcher is not a breed but a type of dog—usually having a member of the greyhound family as one of its parents. •   Lurcher Dog Picture and Information The Lurcher was bred in Ireland and Great Britain by the Irish gypsies and tinkers in the 1600s. They were used for poaching rabbits, hares and other small creatures. It is never bred to a specific standard and is often not considered a breed, as the Lurcher is more a crossbreed: usually three quarters sighthound.
