Shaddy93 840 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Don't know what your onabiut some of the lads on here seem to think a hancocks dog is the prefect all round lurcher and can take as much stick as a good bull cross.... LOL 2 Quote Link to post
mackem 27,839 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Plummers marketing sold the dream,Hancock was the means and the supplier,it would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall back then to hear how they cooked up the strategy. 2 Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,769 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 From what I gather they started it when something went wrong with the chicken farm, I believe the scrap cars are because some lands sub let to a mechanic? And the pups that reach a certain age and then suddenly disappear off the for sale bit go the same way as the cast greyhound brood bitches. Myself I would sooner have a black or collie marked Lurcher,than a merle. 3 Quote Link to post
LurcherLad94 2,582 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 sounds a c**t Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,769 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Surely if you find a collie lurcher bitch for Bronson to serve,you would get better pups ,jase? Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 They won't tell you lies that's for sure. Lol. I am supprised about all the merle in one run and other colours separate. You sure it was just a pup left out o all his siblings. When I got mine the whole litter, regardless of colour was kept all together. 1 Quote Link to post

bigjase1 159 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 He not got a bitch for Bronson to cover he just heard all the mix reports of Hancock dogs and the cross appealed to him and what he works I went along to be nosey i guess I'm not saying his lines don't produce workers I am shocked at the lack of compassion towards the bloods and the fact he stated the greyhound added nothing to the cross confusing Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 All the greyhounds are failed track dogs .... that In its self should be enough to put anybody off ........ 4 Quote Link to post

Pirate 9000 676 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Why the man started breeding lurchers for working homes when he clearly has no interest in them always baffled me he could of made more money out of breeding for the pet market, money and working dogs don't mix never has and never will.

pablo esc 1,598 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well I must say I'm shocked by this guy My mate has gone on for yrs about buying a pup bred by Hancock so off we go to view at kennels the stuff this said truly surprised me none of his dogs have worked studs dogs I said do you look for certain types of greyhounds to use he responded by saying they are just carriers of pups the litter take nothing from the greyhound for hunting ability they are just there for a carcass to carry young I expressed that the greyhound was bred hunting dog he said they dumb free to good home breeding carcass that's all I'm confused Mr Hancock why use them or have 100 plus of them if there no good for hunting oh he did say and saly did say that they don't want black greyhounds cause people don't buy black and white pups no more fancy colours are what the market want When I challenged him over the use of greyhounds he said I'm cold I'm going in doors if your not buying a pup .so we left without a pup What a stupid thing to say Mr Hancock and tbh shame on you could well imagine. Fair play for sticking to your guns ! Quote Link to post
pablo esc 1,598 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I was just so shocked that was all there were merles litters together but in 1 run there was a black and white pup on it's own same age of the merles he said that was 200 pounds it was really gutting to see and there was so many scrap cars all over place this guy was ment to be a legend is certain circles but wow I'm gutted and shocked sadly it has really affected meand I heard people say good things about him or his greyhounds. Doesn't take a genius . does it lol Quote Link to post
