Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 You thought about hancocks? I wouldn't think twice if I was after a pup and there was nothing about. i would wait it out if there was nothing around at the mo,made that mistake myself once getting a pup in after i lost my working bitch wont make that mistake again,good luck in your choice you got plenty time to get exactly what your after when your good and ready I've seen a few Hancock dogs make cracking workers in the right hands. I wouldn't hesitate to take one on as a pup and would bet my life it made a half decent dog. Quote Link to post
George1 7 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I can't really say much about hancocks dogs mate as I've personally never seen one , they just don't really do it for me and I'd prefer something where both parents and grandparents have worked in the field for lads who can vouch for them, I'm sure something will pop up I'm not in any rush 2 Quote Link to post
CBdogsA1 420 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 That collie/greyhound bitch pup that Scottish hare hunter has advertised looks a little belter. Seen the dam go, very good at her thing. Also went for a look at the pups and they were bang on. Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Good luck George ,patience is a virtue that you seem to have ,it will pay dividends in the end just think carefully what you want the pup to do, Then look for a mating where the parents do that and Maybe a little more and you won't be disappointed. 1 Quote Link to post
