darbo 4,776 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 My first Hancock was £65...half a lifetime ago tho!!!! still got the receipts for the ones i had 1987 £ and 1989 £92. You must be old like me Hancock charged VAT on pups in them days too.... aye your certainly right im no spring chicken yes he did charge vat. Quote Link to post
jack68 628 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I no they are lads on here who would never have a pup of Hancock, but with him you are getting what it says on the tin. Be that a 1st cross or what have you the base line is there with one parent being a full greyhound and the other being off collie breeding. Some say my mate had one and it was poo would not do this or that well how meny has your mate had of diffrent cros lurchers that would not also do this and that. It's a pup that you are getting a blank canvas to train and mold as you see fit, all dogs have a weakness so then work it to its strengths. I have never had a pup of him as i have had Pups off lads that I no the parents of but if i wanted a pup and did not no of any litters then I would get one off him. At the best of times a follies can be a hard sort of dog to train to your way of thinking, or how meny lads say, this dogs brite and knose more then me...atb 3 Quote Link to post

bigdaz 688 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 best rabbit dog i ever had in my life was off hancock she was a first cross border collie greyhound,, (rufus x nell,) it was about 20yrs back, never seen one as good since neither, wish i had one like it now. I had a bitch from Rufus to a black greyhound bitch called Nell, born 14th march 1992 a superb wee dog and not just on rabbits. In all my years in dogs of all types I've never seen a better hunting type, her nose was phenominal. Quote Link to post
