Breed Breeds Lurcher Slim Thin Walk 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Lurcher's Stride: A Glance into the Past" Date: 1928 This black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a Lurcher dog, a slim and agile breed known for its graceful gait, as it walks along a quiet country lane. The year is 1928, and the scene transports us back in time to an era when life moved at a slower pace. Lurchers, a type of sighthound, are believed to have originated in England during the 18th and 19th centuries. They were bred as all-purpose hunting dogs, combining the speed and agility of greyhounds with the tenacity and stamina of terriers. This versatile breed was often used for rabbit and hare hunting, making them a popular choice among country folk. In this photograph, the Lurcher's lean body and long, powerful legs are on full display as it confidently strides forward, its ears pricked and eyes focused on the horizon. Its sleek coat, glossy and free from mats, shines in the sunlight, while its tail curls gracefully behind it. The dog's keen sense of sight is evident in its alert expression, as it scans the surroundings for any signs of prey. The tranquil countryside setting further emphasizes the harmony between the Lurcher and its natural environment. The gentle undulations of the land, the vibrant green foliage, and the clear blue sky create a picturesque backdrop that speaks to the beauty and simplicity of rural life in the early 20th century. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Lurcher breed and the role they played in the lives of rural communities. It serves as a reminder of the deep bond between humans and their canine companions and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors.
