Bootsha 1,306 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Had one myself years ago, border cross, Red merle bitch, a hunting machine, by a gog called rufus out of a bitch called nell. Obedient, very intelligent, very fast, plenty of stamina but liked company on the red ones, otherwise as good as you'd want.This is from actually owning a Hancock dog not on hearsay.

poacher3161 1,766 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Why call them hancock dogs their collie hybred lurchers that any body whos been around lurchers knows the cross can make a good versatile lurcher in the right hands just because a puppy pedlar decided to latch on to this cross i dont think it gives him the right imho to atach his name to this type of lurcher even though he has bred it. 4 Quote Link to post
Bootsha 1,306 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 The same could be said of Plumber terriers I suppose, how many pups did he breed ?? I suppose they are called Hancock lurchers because he bred them, quite a lot perhaps, but breed them he did, for a long time. 1 Quote Link to post

pro keeper 111 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 does any one run hancock dogs on here just wondering if they are any good ? Hi, mate i went to look at his dogs six weeks ago, i was less than impressed , dont get me wrong i have seen some of his dog work in the past and i will say they were very good, but common sense should tell u dont buy a dog if its dam \ sire have never worked, its not so important from the greyhound side i admit, but i like to see a good working sheep dog cover them, then at least you know the sire is trainable and from workers,the flip side of his dogs are at least you know that the cross's are what he says they are, he told me that the only time his stud dogs leave the kennels is when they serve, thats not a nice life no walks or exercise, plus i found that when entering his kennels the pups were very stand off ish and shy, hes a nice bloke and i understand its how he makes a living but he could treat his dogs better, this aside i could not risk a shy puppy from none workers, i wanted a 1st cross boarder but chose to breed them myself. hope this helps 2 Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Notice all the good dogs were owned 'years ago'. If you are set on a collie cross then use a good fast tough hill collie and a good working grey. People shouldn't buy pups off him just supports a puppy farm that treats it's dogs crap. 1 Quote Link to post
