coursing_lad 45 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 sounds a handy cross to have IMO , just because its HANCOCK , dont make it something special , but the type of breeding is there to make a good all rounder . good luck with it CL Quote Link to post

Mars 42 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) ALL I REALLY WANT THE DOG FOR IS RABBITS LAMPING JUST,HE IS BROKEN COATED AS WELL.ANYONE HAVE ANY PICTURE S OF THAT KIND OF BREED WOULD BE GOOD.HE IS 16 MONTHS OLD AS WELL,JUST WANT A GOOD LAMP DOG FOR THE START OF THE SEASON,HE IS NOT TRAINED THAT WELL EITHER,THE MAN BROUGHT HIM OUT LAST NIGHT SAID HE GOT 2 RABBITS ON THE LAMP. From the way you write you seem like a youngster, my advice to you would be "Don't Buy The Dog" if your that impatient to get out and do a bit, get out with other lads and their dogs, And you should buy a pup from Known working parents, train it yourself, then in 12 months time you can show off to your mates how well you`ve trained your dog, more satisfying for you and you`ll get more respect doing it your way, rather than buying someone else's F@ck ups..... Think about it why else would someone be selling a good lamping dog with the season right upon us.... Mars... Edited August 22, 2009 by Mars Quote Link to post

sniper 30 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 For lamping you want to get a Collie/Grey, Jacko..Maybe try hancock..theirs a few lads on here with Collie/Grey's a few from Hancock..but at the end of the day its the type of dog you prefer,i agree with Mars, get a pup and bring it on mate.

Clover 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Merle is a coat pattern - not a colour - hence you can get red merles or blue merles. It can be very attractive but should never be doubled up on ie two merles should never be mated together. Quote Link to post
jacko2009 466 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 THE DOG WAS BRED OF A MAN IN BALLYMAHON,DONT KNOW WHERE THAT IS,BUT THAT WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD, Quote Link to post
