3/4 greyhound collies

There doesn't seem to be much written about this cross, how many people run them and what were they like when other quarry was legal? Are the Hancock dogs any good?

My old dog is a 3/4 Hancock, was satisfied with him. Good on rabbit and hare, wouldn't touch fox though. Very good nose on him, had a few bad traits like sometimes opening up and constantly yapping at home but hey ho

imo hancock dogs are made 110% better when x`d back to a greyhound, theres loads written on the cross its been around since day dot.they were the manstay in the foxing circles for years

Seen quite a few of this cross run over the years including a pup out of the first litter hancock ever bred and to be honest were not that impressed with them at the side of other lurcher to lurcher bred dogs as imho any 3 quarter greyhound bred dog wont have the same stamina and recovery rate of a good lurcher to lurcher bred dog.

I've ran a lot of collie/greyhounds from about 1980 onwards and plummer made them popular, as up till he wrote about them telling us they were going to be the best dog in the world we had only had deerhound/greyhound and saluki crosses with the odd bull cross about,I prefer the 5/8 grey/3/8 collie cross myself as an all rounder,my first 3/4 came off "MERLE" and "FATHOM",I had one out of "CHUCKLES" which was good,in fact the black 3/4 in this pick took his first fox single handed aged 9 months,he would take rabbits easilly but never got the hang of catching them hares,he could take a few but he was'nt what I would call a hare dog and yet I've had a few that have been good on them,never had one that could'nt do a fox on its own but I have to agree with poacher they produce a far better dog when crossed with another lurcher,the bitch I have now is probably the best dog I've owned as an all-rounder and is lurcher/lurcher bred but out of 2 very good dogs,atb,WM

[wirral countryman 2,110]

another,I'll put a few more up later if I get a chance,WM

I run 3/4x's they took anything put in front of them. They're biddible easily trained and can shift.

i had 2 3/4 greyhounds 1/4 collie bred from my mates 1st x collie greyhound bitch back to a coursing greyhound,2 of the best dogs i ever had the pleasure to own ,they would work any quarry put in front of them and could hold their own against some saluki bred lurchers out coursing,sadly the bitch had to be PTS at 6 years old due to cancer but i still have her brother 9 years old and still out lamping bushing and ferreting but wouldn't exspect him to be up to much in the coursing field but he still catches a few now and then while out bushing

the dog still working away

the bitch had to be PTS a few years back RIP Tess

Tess and Tips (TnT) Their dam Blacky 15 years old now and spending her retirment in the stables

and still taken out the odd rat.
