context_page_description: A long dog is any dog of sighthound type, whether pure-bred or not. It is usually a cross-breed between two sighthounds of different breeds, and is thus distinct from the lurcher, which is a cross between a sighthound and a working dog, usually a terrier or herding dog. The term may also be applied to a Greyhound or other sighthound breed. The long dog excels at running down hares, and is traditionally associated with Romani culture.
