Not 3/8...5/8 but, Hancock border/grey, 50/50,......23 inch bitch.

 

Sire was billy clinton collie.

I personally think they are better than whippets for all round rabbit work...plus much more hardy. Also had 25/25/50, beardie border/ greyhound....very high prey drive, but quite a bit larger dog.

My Hancock bitch 3/8 5/8 out of Tweedledum and Annie 16 month old.turning out to be a good rabbit dog. intelligent and biddable. typical collie type if it thinks its out of reach she will ignore it, annoying sometimes but saves on vets bills. .runs daytime and on the lamp no world beater but still only a pup.

There are some very good dogs that started life in hancocks kennels, but why get a dog from a place where niether parent is ever going to have worked, the bitch is being used to pump out pups, the dog is only let out its crate to service bitches and its generally all about money. Only reasons i can think of is firstly its easy - you can get his number out of cmw and he ALWAYS has many many pups, and secondly someone is buying into hype attached to hanncock/plummer. If you want a collie x find two working dogs that have been put together. Take time, put effort in. :thumbs:

NIce to see something full grown out of Tweedle Dum and to hear she works. I picked up My first ever lurcher last weekend. He is also out of Teedle Dum. I found David to be a very nice man, talked Myself and daughters right threw is history with lurchers and how they ended up doing what they do. I had read negative and positive stuff on them. I have to say I found the kennels in good clean order and dogs all looking well. Although I do not agree with how I was told to feed My pup, so have changed that to My own methods and in a short time is looking 10 times better.
