johnny boy68 11,726 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Mik - I know I don't know what I got regarding working ability...where did I ever say I did? He's 110% got a better way about him than any dog iv ever had before (all home bred, from good workers) He's ticking the right boxes and as long as he tries out in the field then il be happy. Regards to your dog Joe, you will mever know if it were you or the dog...as you have done things totally different with this one u have now. Like you say, all a learning curve. Joe never had great experience of lurchers but I'd say it wasn't him that was at fault with his dog. Quote Link to post

I'm just saying, if you do things differently as you go along you wont know if you did right or wrong. All yiu can do is try your best with them. Quote Link to post
Marvel 469 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I went with a pal a few months ago to buy a pup, warrington was first, muttz had never been out garden. Birmingham a week later and the bitch had real bad temperment, back home and back on the net he went, lake district few week's later and the guy admitted he didnt know sire as bitch went awol when in heat, i though fook me it couldnt get any worse, then couple days after that seen us in carlisle where the woman tried telling us her bitch had 220 rabbits that weekend on lamp, she had 7 pups at home and it was a full moon on summer night to boot haha My point is, I'd rather go to hancock than the adverts on the Web if they was my only options, atleast he honest and if i was going there id only have a half cross, and lets face it, who works the grey an collies to produce there own hslfxs? Not fooking many, thats who Same here wk. The lies, deceipt, and utter shite that I've witbessed over the years when I've been to view litters of 'genuine' crosses/types, and how good they are with superb temperaments etc etc, defies all logic and belief lol. And again, if some people think hancocks kennels are dirty, scruffy, dogs never leave their pens etc, then you really do need to take a look at more than 6 or 7 litters of some of these 'home bred' pups. Some places I've been to defy description with mess etc, and will leave you feeling sick with disgust, and feeling very sorry for the pups and dam. That's why he's still on the go Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Yep, appreciate that John haha, bloody thing had me pulling my hair out, he was most definitely a 'F**K you' kind of dog, somewhereyournot... I didnt take it personally , not much bothers me these days, you'll need to do the same regarding these posts, get plenty of pics up of your days out and enjoy your dog, he looks a nice sort. If I'd had done more homework or even picked the other pup who knows i might of been on here singing his praises. ye I will once I start him tidy. He will be used mainly for lamping. 1 Quote Link to post

BGD 6,436 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 What wrong with culling surplus pups? If more folk had the stomach for it the rescue centres wouldn't be overflowing with unwanted mutts. Plenty wrong with the way Hancock goes about things but criticising him for dealing with surplus pups is out of order IMO. Quote Link to post
stevo79 569 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Change the record you lot for f**k sake this Hancock bullshit is boring. Don't like him, don't buy a pup it's simple. 5 Quote Link to post
