The Marsh 2 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 its 3/4 greyhound and 1/4 collie first dog and hoping it would be ok but people givin me doubts now tho!! Quote Link to post
sh 08 17 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 lets not have another go at these dogs. some 1st crosses Bulls mainly are untried but still bred from. but as i say imho its how you bring a dog up but it does help if the hunting instinct is in them. Quote Link to post

wuyang 513 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Don't be put off. Most of his dogs are capable of keeping most people happy, although different people have different expectations. Its right what is said though better to get off working stock. This didn't put me off though. Both mine kept me happy, not world class dogs, but good working dogs. Put the time in, enter carefully and be patient and i'm sure you won't look back. ATB Quote Link to post
Sully 3 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 My Lexie is just approaching her first birthday, not worked yet but she's been a dream to train, very steady healthy bitch, which wants to make me happy........which she does, go for it mate, all comes down to what you do with it, to many spoilt dogs by peeps buying a 8 Wk old pup and think it'll look down the beam, catch and return live to hand over 5 bar gates through a field we sheep in it, little do some people know that what ever x you get, it takes patience and time !!! good luck which ever way you decide to go, piccys of pups are always appreciated Quote Link to post
all.rounder 3 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 :: its what you put into the dog.is what you ll get out of it.and that gos for any breed of dog.his is my Hancock bitch at 8 months.think it was her 4Th time out.and any faults she has is my fault not the dogs.but i will put a bit more work into her over the summer. am happy enough with her Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Their collie crosses at the end of the day no different to joe bloggs getting a track greyhound and putting the local farm collie over it.My cocern is lads buying off hancock are keeping a puppy farmer in buisness I would rather see his set up and thousands more like it breeding peddigree dogs go out of buisness.

reavo2k9 20 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 not my cup of tea it depends on what you want it for? rabbits yes ,charlie -stay clear not strong enough and jack, i think it how youy bring it on to see spiderpig on here he has a few of that breed ask his opinion hes your man ,and as said earlier untested parents too .fk that Quote Link to post
Sully 3 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think some people need to wake up and smell the coffee, puppy peddlers, I went to see if I wanted a Hancock dog, We were invited and had a good look round, yes there are alot of dogs, and no I dont agree with keeping these animals just to keep knocking litters out, but this happening on a smaller scale all over the country with all breeds of dog everyday, when I went the dogs were kept in clean kennels, well fed,and looked in good overall health, they are inspected on a regular basis and I am 100% sure that the Hancocks have the dogs best interest at heart, after all if your selling tomatoes, you dont want to bruise them do you !!! I have been witness to so called real working mens puppy litters and they have been a disgrace to all dog men and women, stomachs full of worms, fur dropping out due to the bad conditions of their kennels, and socialisation......what socialisation, not good, this always brings about an argument, lets keep on a level, be adults and see it as it is, personal preferance, one mans meat is another mans poison !!!
