Had three Hancock lurchers all 1/2 border 1/2 greyhound from 1990 to 2008 all been very good dogs thought I would have a change so got a bull greyhound from very good working stock ...... Never again wish I had had another Hancock lurcher. very easy to train. next one I have will be a 3/4 cross off merlin looks a very nice stud dog. You get what you put in to any dog regardless of what working stock they come from
