p s had a hancock but no way would i have another so talking from expierence

what age did you get it at....ps the dog not you

 

He got the dog as a pup, I picked it up.

 

And he doesn`t say all this when out with a Hancock dog, only when he goes home and gets on the PC

 

He likes my dog but it sticks in his craw to say it, ! hahahahahaha

My old beardy/grey 1/2 cross out of remus bought in 1989 a decent dog who always gave his best.

 

[BLACKWATER... 157]

one died at three other gave away at six to a good home , both were alrite on rabbs but not much cope on anything else back then , she was a very good rabbit dog fox odd hare , but most dogs can catch a rabbit etc, its all the other quirks that i like in my own collie type natural fetchers, jumper , pacey good wind not to hyper , good strikers home bred are far streaks ahead than my hancock was and easier to lve with not chewers etc the beardie type was hardy and a good dog but time moves on and so does the dogs etc as they say , for the better , for me , mines was adecent animal but saw lots in the eighties ninteis poor specimens for runing dogs ,saw better and moved on

I like my Hancock so far. He's a big strong pup at 28", and 70#. He was sired by John-dog, and has the coat to show for it. He did seem to pick up on lamping right away. He'll enter the water for retrieves, and seems biddable in general. But otherwise, I don't have a lot to compare him to. I'll know more in a year or two.

 

Still, I think he's a fair dog for the price. Certainly no trouble to keep.
