Welcome to the site.

 

Boy oh Boy have you opened up a can of worms.....

 

Be prepared to hear a lot of bad things said about the man.

 

The important thing to remember that it is you how will make that dog, the breeding is a big factor but you will have a star dog if you put the time in.

 

Hancock, breeds puppies that is what he does. So be aware of that, it means that his puppies don't get as much socialisation as puppies brought up by a family or occasional breeder. The longterm effects of this are disputable if you get your puupy at 8 weeks. (This paragragh will get shouted down but that is to be expected).

 

Hancock breeds precise crosses, if you order a puppy from him you will knkow exactly what it will turn out like in terms of size and to some degree ability.

 

As regards to crosses, if this is your first dog then a 1/2 cross can be quite demanding to train you might want to look at a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie.

 

If you are looking to catch a lot of large rabbits then forget a 1/2 cross, it won't get near them in the daytime. Even a 3/4 bred will struggle.

 

That said a 1/2 cross is a brilliant cross and has stamina to burn.

 

I am not sure if he has a beardie/border stud dog at moment, phone him and check.

 

If you are after a dog that will take pretty much anything then maybe a 3/8 5/8 will suit you.

 

For sure you are going to get quite a few replies on here.

 

I've had a hancock dog and he was brilliant, only faults he had were my mistakes in training. He was a gentle soul except when chasing something.

 

Most people who have them are happy with them, Hancock sells a lot of dogs each year and some are bound to go to people who can't train them etc and they are the ones who will shout him down. It might not be any fault of their own Collie crosses just don't suit some people.

 

Borders tend to be a bit full on and Beardies a bit reserved. the Cross between the two in My opinion is mustard. But horses for courses.

 

If you want a collie cross get it as a puppy, collie crosses don't do well when passed around.

 

Hope this helps you.

I,ve got a wippet X collie.Hes a great dog trained really well it will be his first season. Built is confidence up by shooting rabbits with my air rifle letting him get them. But i find that people put there dogs on too soon and shatter the dogs confidence.

I have seen 1 Hancock bred, Border / beardie greyhound cross work regularily and that dog was deadly. :good:

Fox, rabbit, hare, ect, magic at all.

 

The owner trained it up very well though and the dog was demanding.

I did edit it to hid what ziggy1 wrote originally, but why should I?

 

If people come on and ask stupid questions and say stupid things on a forum where anyone can register and view what we say (including Anti's, News Reporters, Police), then quite frankly they shouldnt be here.
