Idiots on preloved selling French Bulldogs for £5000 that's puppy farming. Don't ask on here if they exercise there dogs, ring them and ask them. Yes he sells dogs but people go back to him and buy another. You get all the history of the sire and damp what more do you want?For me you could buy a pup from workers and be no different buying one from Hancock. It's all about what you put in to the dog.

TOMO 26,036 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 The last 4 hancocks I seen ,,haven't been up to much,,, Ask young Rew on this site,,he had a 3/4 grey cross border beardy,,,,he had to rehouse it at around two years old,,,only caught 1 rabbit in that time,,,and that's with a keen young fella,,, My old ferreting partner pady,,(rip) had a half cross,,,great nose,,but didn't catch many,,,small mouth of moochers,,has no end of trouble with his,,not only did it not catch much,,,he ended up having it pts,,,because it bit his Mrs ,,, And finally my mate has one ,,just down the street,,,3/4 grey cross,,,nervy critter,,,and at nearly 3,,,has only caught one rabbit,,, Don't bother,,,,just do as your doing,,ask around on here,,be prepared to wait,,,,and don't worry to much if there's other breeds in the mix.... If you realy have to go there,,,,then get one as early as possible,,,,I generally don't agree with getting pups at 5-6 weeks,,,but if I had to go to Hancock ,,,I would break my rules 3 Quote Link to post
