a kind of hunting-dog much like a mongrel greyhound, with pricked ears, a shagged coat, and generally of a yellowish white colour; they are very swift runners, so that if they get between the burrows and the conies they seldom miss; and this is their common practice in hunting: yet they use other subtleties, as the tumbler does, some of them bringing in their game, and those are the best. It is also observable, that a lurcher will run down a hare at stretch.
