lurchers
Poacher's swift dogs
Lurchers is the plural of lurcher, a type of dog bred by crossing a sighthound (like a greyhound or whippet) with another breed, typically a terrier or herding dog.
Lurchers were traditionally associated with poachers and travelers in Britain, valued for their speed, stealth, and versatility in catching rabbits and hares: The lurchers waited silently at the field's edge.
