bigdaz 688 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 From speaking to people over the years the Rufus dog appeared to produce a decent pup. Quote Link to post
gvc 491 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. Like wise my best rabbiting dog was a half cross bitch from Hancock a red merle out of Drooper I think he was a pup of rufus. She was the best i'v seen on the lamp and day time she hunted more like a cat. Not everyone's cup of tea but I loved the way she worked. She worked all quarry but rabbiting shevwas a cut above.

dewi 188 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Had a rufusx nell dog myself very bright dog but had his quirks when it came to foxes.was started off on lamped foxes that had been shot first,mopping up runners ended up just following them if no gun present but would bust a gut and kill them even if you missed as long as he heard that shot, even considered a starting pistol at times...

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Here's mines out of Alex - he'll be 2 at the end of the month...has done all I've asked of him and more... He wasn't an easy pup to work with and he certainly wouldn't have been a first time dog!!! He'da broke your heart and turned you to drink... He's my fourth Hancock and I'm really excited about the future...by far and away the cleverest dog I have worked with, has a phenomenal nose, loves to please, athletic, brave with prey drive to spare...very happy with him... Take care - Colin. 5 Quote Link to post

bracken boy 584 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 here we bloody go again they are rubbish/ they are good, does it matter, let the chap ring up find out and decide instead of people trying to make his mind up for him. 1 Quote Link to post
Hunting Lass 21 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 A dog is what you make of it. If u don't spend the time makin it what u want it to be then what do u expect. Noting to do with who breeds it!! Quote Link to post
