We were pleased to have as guests at Hyperflite this week, Daniel Grayson and his 'oversized Lurcher,' K'hoosh.
What is an oversized lurcher you ask? According to Daniel: "A Lurcher is 3/4 'coldblood' (a term borrowed from the equine world) Greyhound, which are those Greyhounds used for work other than track racing (those, like thoroughbred horses, are often termed 'hotbloods'), and 1/4 working/oversized Airedale (those are often called 'Oorang' from when they were developed in Ohio during the 1910s-20s (fascinating story of one of the first, if not the first, multi-level marketing schemes). Or, simply referred to as an oversized Lurcher, which is the accepted term for a cross involving a sighthound with a working or terrier breed."
Ten year old K'hoosh, whose head was far above the level of our desks, and who weighs over 130 lbs, seemed like the mellowest of giant dogs until his eyes lighted upon our Hyperflite discs. At which point, he turned into a raging Border Collie/Aussie/Australian Cattle Dog disc fanatic. We took him to the backyard to exercise his demons out on our Alpha and K-10 Jawz discs. I don't think the attached photos do him justice as to his size. But, he is one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet.
And, as an aside, and something that makes me feel very old, when Daniel was in school, he remembers me performing at his High School on Long Island. :-)
