Lurcher is a crossbred dog resulting from mating a greyhound or other sighthound with a dog of another type such as a herding dog or a terrier. The lurcher is not a "breed," but is a generic descriptor of a group of varying dogs. It was for hundreds of years strongly associated with poaching in modern times, it is kept as a hunting dog or companion dog. Lurcher is an old English term for a crossbred dog specifically, the result of mating a sighthound with a dog of another type, typically a working breed. The term was first used with this meaning in 1668 it is considered to be derived from the verb lurch, apparently a variant form of lurk, meaning lurk or steal. The tendency to "wrench" and "cut" rather than "course" was considered to be unfair and a violation of "The Law of the Leash.
In England from 1389, the right to keep a dog of any kind used in hunting was limited by law to those qualified by possessing lands, holdings, or income worth more than ten pounds per annum in other words, royalty, nobility, the gentry, and the wealthy. This law, though repeatedly modified, remained in force until 1831. As a result, hunters and poachers bred sighthounds with breeds that could disguise their sighthound bloodline, often under thick rough coats, whilst adding other abilities including intelligence, stamina or turning speed. The dog chosen for this could be an available farm dog, often a collie or terrier.
Biography of Samuel John Carter (March 1835 – 1 May 1892) was a British artist and illustrator, known for his paintings and drawings of animals. His paintings have been exhibited at galleries and sold at auction houses around the world, the highest sold price was $15,120 US dollars. He was the father of the archaeologist Howard Carter. Carter was born in March 1835 at Swaffham, Norfolk, the son of Samuel Isaac Carter, a gamekeeper. As a child Carter took lessons from John Sell Cotman who ran a school of drawing in Swaffham. Basing himself in London and Swaffham, Carter established himself as an animal painter, including wildlife and hunting scenes, and was the principal animal illustrator for the Illustrated London News from 1867 to 1889. He also worked as an animal portrait painter in his Norfolk locale, including obtaining commissions to paint clients' horses and dogs. Exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy, he drew positive comment from John Ruskin.
In 1858, at the age of 22, Carter married Martha Joyce (c. 1836–1920) at Swaffham. They had 11 children: ten sons and a daughter, with three sons dying in infancy. Most of the surviving children inherited their father's artistic talent with three, William, Verney and Amy, exhibiting at the Royal Academy. The youngest, Howard, became an archaeologist after gaining a reputation for his precise copying of Egyptian tomb decorations, he later discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun. Having suffering at least one stroke, Carter died on 1 May 1892 aged 57. Howard Carter later said of his father "being an animal painter of no little fame he was one of the most powerful draughtmen I ever knew. His knowledge of comparative anatomy and memory of form was matchless. He could depict from memory, accurately, any animal in any action, foreshortened or otherwise, with the greatest ease.
