Shaddy93 840 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) I would like a collie cross like the ones you hear about on here, but I wouldn't take the risk running one on because I have seen a few that were utter shite, not saying I don't believe people have good dogs but seems a bit hit and miss for me to run a pup on for 18 month for nothing if your looking for a dog to do things that bite back you have a few choices, bull crosses, wheaten crosses, deerhound crosses, bedlington crosses etc etc,I'll say again collie greyhound are good at what they do but theres not many if any hard collie greyhounds about, Iv seen a few pull Charlie's and grey stuck in doubled up but even then they squeel like a piglet, the old school collie greyhound fare enough and I know there's a good few lines of bearded collie crosses over in Ireland but all these hancocks dogs flying around are decent for one thing and that's about it, Iv been out with a fare few hancocks dogs one excelled on rabbits but sulked like mad of it got laim, one excellent on rabbit and hare back in the day but also sulked for ages when laim, and a mate of mine runs one now that's 4 years old and literally never caught anything, not saying the lad running it has nothing to do with that because he is to blame but never the less Iv seen the dog run rabbits and pull up on them Edited October 24, 2016 by Shaddy93 Quote Link to post
cantona 310 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Like I said been out with a few and even rabbiting they didn't have enough fire for me, smallish fast fields, picking runs and stalking , ferreting ok but nothing special, my old bed die whippit greyhound bitch much better for bunnys, these were the ones I went out with Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I like to hazard a guess that collie greyhounds have put away more game than most crosses, and have been about for years and more likely still will be in many years to come, they make some of the best alrounders on edible quarry if that's your thing, remember one man's trash is another man's treasure 3 Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I personally wouldn't entertain having a pup off a pedlar like that. I'd sooner give a lad a few quid for an honest pup out of workers....regardless of the cross you want . But this lad wants to know where to get a deerhound cross can anyone help him ? 1 Quote Link to post

Simple Well I know a lot who run them Iv been out with many of them over the years and I know a lot of people who have ran them for years and I have never Hurd about a hancocks dog doing all game and I won't believe it until I see it, the man is nothing but a peddler, iv been to his kennels a mate of mine owned a bitch she died last year at 9 years old another mate of mine has a dog from there 18 month old and they both have the same mother!! The last time his dogs seen a rabbit was the last time he had a shave, 1 Quote Link to post

It's not a witch hunt, I think anyone who sold that many pups on here would get the same flack, and if anyone dares mention him in a negative way you take it personally. No ones having a pop at your pup ,it's the person you purchased it from who will sell to anyone with the money. 1 Quote Link to post
