Chid 6,495 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I've been trawling websites for months,and the same numbers an areas come up often so there's plenty of people out there who's dogs are not worked,different litters ,terriers an lurchers etc, I guess with hancock you know what it is a collie x,but if it's true about the price tag ,then no.i wouldn't pay that much. Plenty of decent bred dogs out there for less.they just won't be a collie x . Dropped more running for the bus than what hancock charges for a pup.Genuine collie x grehounds at working mans price£300 aint no working mans price imoIf you cant lay your hands on 300 quid then youve not right owning dogs imoI agree. £300 is peanuts for a well bred pup. If someone is struggling to come up with that then it makes you wonder how they would afford jabs, wormers, vet care, good food etc? I agree to .... But if I was spending £300 on a pup I wouldn't be lining the pockets of a puppy farmer id rather buy out of working parents ...That's fair enough and your call.I wouldn't hesitate to get a pup from him Myself. Seen a couple id be tempted at myself...my dog was bred out of a hancock bitch and that's the way id try to go again if i was looking for the type he breeds , but who knows in the future I may go there There's a couple of hancocks I know of if they get bred ill be fighting to get to the front of the que and I reckon you probably be there to I've got a soft spot for a big Hancock dog way up North. If he went over the right bitch I would be interested in a pup. Quote Link to post

Anthony121184 26 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Its good to have some feedback off a few lads who currently run them or have done in the past so cheers for that,im looking forward to next year when mines in action. £300 is hardly a lot of money for a dog u could get many seasons out of plus you no your getting a collie cross if that's what you want. You can pay 200-250 on preloved for a lurcher with 8 different breeds in it and could throw any old way. 1 Quote Link to post

jeemes 4,468 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 worker to worker. That cannot happen at the Hancock kennel. It used to be a chicken farm until Edwina Curry shut it down so farmer Hancock turned to farming dogs..Its that simple. 2 Quote Link to post

Dengil 27 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 seen a litter on pets4homes both parents are hancock bred, they look a cracking litter of pups and both parents are probably worked so if your after a Hancock dog these would be ideal for someone rather than going to him direct, if i was after a new dog i'd defo look at them. 1 Quote Link to post

shaaark 10,709 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 worker to worker. That cannot happen at the Hancock kennel. It used to be a chicken farm until Edwina Curry shut it down so farmer Hancock turned to farming dogs..Its that simple. Worker to worker means feck all, apart from the fact that both parents were worked. It doesn't follow that all the pups will, or even be suitable for work. Plenty of working/coursing/racing champions etc in both dogs and horses, bred from parents which have never worked, coursed or raced prove it Quote Link to post
