Any dog will work to an extent if you put the work in, and if the above dog does what I want then I will be happy with him.

I've seen a lot of Hancock dogs over the years of all percentages, owned a couple too. The one underlying factor I found with these was it was usually the handler that had the bearing on how they turned out. Though has in any litter(tried and untried) theres invariably some that ain't got the minerals even with the best breeding in the world behind it.

 

What makes Hancock so popular is the fact that you get what you pay for, how many people are breeding 5/8 3/8's? I'm not condoning how he breeds BUT not all have the contacts to find a good collie/grey pup, in fact most litters of collie greys are gone before they hit the floor.

i agree that the way he breeds is not ideal and that handlers are often to blame but the handlers expectations are often way wrong..a collie x is a collie x in the main theyr'e not meant for whins open big land or as single handed fen dogs but if your into lamping rough pasture or ferreting woodland etc they do take some beating

 

As long as your conscience can live with supporting puppy farming, and thats the crux of the matter. But like others have said, many people dont mind where there dogs come from.

It's not the dogs that are at fault as often they can be good, although its more of a lottery when bought from a mass producer of dogs.

 

Its just 'Puppy farming' that grates with me, it cant be defended on any level.

 

Its for your own conscience to decide, if you want to support 'Puppy Farming' go for it.
