  2. The one I had with me is only a bit of bull they where referring to who bred them ,as in proper Hancock lurchers ,as though they where a breed.
  3. Out for a walk today not far from where they are bred,and saw an old couple walking 4 Hancock lurchers and a rescue,nice enough they asked the breeding of mine ,and then looked down their noses ,and said oh they aren't proper lurchers then! As Hancock's are ,I agreed and walked on

  9. I think the problems will come from generations of breeding none working dogs and selecting for traits like low drive to fit in with sub-urban tweed and wellie mums . We had a family poodle that would kill rats as a kid ,so it's in most dogs if allowed and that comes from millions of years of evolution and not selective breeding for 200 or so years. But to advance then surely workers is the way to go ?
