I don't know why folk are so hung up on getting a genuin 1/2 cross,,or3/4 ect,,,,so what if there's a bit of something else in there....

Understand what you are saying Ray. The one Hancock dog I got left is out of hector (beardie half cross) and is not keen on fox but puts plenty of edible game in my freezer he hunts like a demon takes

That's the thing.... 'I want a genuine half cross, then I know what I'm getting'....except you don't as the parents have not been worked, ergo, you have no idea of what you're going to get.   I've

Someone can and probably will correct me here but I'm almost certain somewhere in his book he tells of a young dog whose name I can't remember as its been over twenty years at least since I read it but he takes it out lamping if I'm correct in thinking catching two rabbits and pronounces it as a proven worker and therefore good enough to go to stud..if I get time this evening I will have a trawl through it and see if I can photograph what he said to post it on here..then you wonder why I ain't read it EVER again ffs..a mans got to make a living fair enough and if the public are so hoodwinked into thinking he is the only breeder of collie lurchers then like Bob said you can only blame those that travel,pay and go home with a sapling off him..he must of made hundreds of thousands if not more of what in reality are substandard animals,just wish I'd had the mindset to do it haha

Use it a kindling Fuji it's about all it's worth

Be worth more than those fooking Darcy books mate ?? ..saying that the new lamping book he has coming out should be tip top reading,plenty should be able to relate to it as the majority of lurcherfolk at somestage have done a bit of nighttime hunting ?..so come on Arsy get the cnut up for sale ??

Your dog is of similar build to my collie saturated dog Dan which i bred out of my old bitch Gwen, to Torchies reverse threequarter Dan, i have a preference for collie saturated type dogs over the collie greyhound types you see nowadays that are in my eyes collie marked greyhounds. regards collie john.

If my aging mind serves me correctly was it not Brian Plummer that came up with the idea that Hancock start a collie Lurcher puppy farm ?

In a book that i consumed many years ago it said that Mr plummer turned up to the Hancock farm with 3 greyhound bitches to start the famous kennel
