The Lurcher is a truly remarkable type of dog. A customized cross between a sight hound [such as a greyhound or whippet] and other breeds, it is extremely fast, agile, hardy and gentle, and can be kept as a working dog or as a pet. Jon Hutcheon has a strong affinity with animals and the countryside and has a very active interest in conservation and rural management. His love of Lurchers began as a child and this book is based on a lifetime's experience of owning and working dogs. His main passion is field sports, especially the control of rabbits with the use of Lurchers, nets and ferrets.
