danw 1,748 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 f*****g good job he doesn't descend from the Asian Continent!!! Can see the similarities though IE, prolific and indiscriminate breeding :whistling: 1 Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 feck me didnt know hancock had so many enemies . to answer a few questions nowhere did i say it would be a worldbeater and my mate has been in dogs forever and all the years i have known him he has never bought a pup in fact a dog at all as far as i know he always breeds his own out of his own stock but fancied a merle collie greyhound and wanted to definately know the pup he is buying is what its supposed to be hence hancock because love him or loathe him you do know what your getting off him when you go to buy a pup.which lets be honest half the litters advertised in c weekly and other places the mixture in the pup your buying is not what it says half the time.it doesnt make the puppy any better or worse for that but i cant see why anyone buying a hancock puppy gets so much heartache if you dont like them dont buy one simple real;ly .my mate who is buying it dogs are not showy or typey but they can all do a decent job and some a lot better than decent .

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hancock dogs I've had a few and run a bitch from hancock(1/2)x hancock(3/4) at the moment.One I had was pretty average,one was exceptional on rabbits but wouldn't entertain anything else and the other was a really good dog on all quarry. Hancock dogs are no different to any others in the fact that you pay your money and take your chance........the defining factor with Hancocks is you know what you're getting. All these coursing lines don't always throw good pups BUT peeps are still buying them.While theres a market(for any breed) there will always be somebody to stock that market. 1 Quote Link to post

All these coursing lines don't always throw good pups BUT peeps are still buying them.While theres a market(for any breed) there will always be somebody to stock that market. David Hancock has been in business breeding collie lurchers for almost 30 years. It's a pretty tall order to set up a business of any kind and still be trading after that length of time. Don't think for one minute he'd have survived this long if he'd been breeding shit as most of his knockers will tell you. You'll know what you're getting and you'll never need to come on here, post pics and ask folk what they think "is in her" and have mind boggling permutations posted back. I visited with David and Sally last weekend and Sally was telling me that they're putting their prices up to £230 from £200 in the next wee while. And I bet they don't see a slowdown in business. Of course some of the pups they breed will turn out to be pretty poor, some will be mediocre and I've no doubt some will be crackers. Pretty much scaled up from every litter that's ever been bred anywhere in the country. Some good, some bad and some ugly. 1 Quote Link to post

At the end off the day if the was no market there be no business but there is am against everything Hancock stands for but at the end off the day its a living and by sounds off it a good one £200 £250 a pup. In stead off going on about Hancock all the time,what about the people buying this pups there no better. But what l don't get you never hear off a litter out off two hancock dogs that had about 4 seasons under there belt proving workers would it not be better get a pup out off something like that.Still hancock breed but dogs that have did a job.

Out off working dogs Lots do I suppose but you won't see them for sale on here or in CMW 99% of the time any pups hitting the floor from proven dogs are usually spoken for. Not everybody who wants a collie x can source one from workers so thats where Hancock comes in.........prefer to buy a dog from hancock though than some geezer who's beautiful collie lurcher got lined by the local council estates heinz 57.
