Greyman 28,441 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I find it funny that people are shocked by this, both Hancock and Plummer were a pair of bullshitters back in the day, who never done any real work, those same old chicken sheds that are full of ex racing grews are the same sheds Plummer and his alleged pack of Plummer terriers used to pose next to when he was claiming he killed thousands of rats a night, he then went on to tell the world that if you got a collie X lurcher, it would not only fill your freezer but pay your mortgage and carry your suit case to the airport when you needed a break, the entire Plummer/Hancock legacy is a massive pack of lies built up around a shitty old failed battery farm near Tamworth, and in truth you may as well get a free to a good home dog from your local rag, as its £300 cheaper and may even have some working heritage 9 Quote Link to post

The one 8,479 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Im surprised folk buy a pup out untested / unworked parents when you come on here and can see what your getting Quote Link to post
bigjase1 159 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 It's more to do with the fact that he said greyhound offers nothing I'm not saying his pups are no good as they are only as good as the guy at end of lead all greys used are retired track dogs so there ability to chase is there but his statement was there just a carcass to carry pups so if that's the case Mr Hancock use some staffs there's plenty need homes or is it the fact the grey does ad the prey drive your collies beards or border lack Quote Link to post

low plains drifter 10,532 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Don't think him or his daughter have ever properly worked a lurcher in there lives, it was just an idea that Plummer had for Hancock to breed collie crosses and make loads of money From turkey farmer to puppy farmer, there's often no sentiment in business. Think it was Hancock himself that wrote that Plummer had scribbled a formula in the dust on his van to show how successful a breeding kennel could be, and looks like he was'nt far wrong, some of the early stuff were probably handy enough in the field, these days he can support himself thanks to the fads, fashion chasers, and flyballers 2 Quote Link to post
pablo esc 1,598 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 That's all it was , a business, taking money and at that extra cost than some one who bred a lurched for the right reasons , there own pup. He would have them continually for sale always , pups , etc. Joe soap looks in the paper and one available 1 Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 It's pretty obvious their attitude towards the dogs from breeding on the scale they do. I found him polite, wasn't fussed om sally. Took half of what they said with pinch of salt and walked off with a tidy pup. Rest is down to me. If it's crap atleast I can jut blame Hancock amd nothing that I may have done lol if it turns out good, il take the credit ? 6 Quote Link to post
maxwell 88 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Don't understand why people would even think about going to handcock for a pup, when there are genuine lads out there who could help you out, and as far as a legend in certain circles goes hes never been and never will be, at the end of the day hes just a puppy farmer in it for the money and not the welfare of the dogs 1 Quote Link to post
billhardy 2,342 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 What I see his the amount of folk reading this thread ,that tells me there will allways be the bo afire genuine welfare of the working type animal in general. Atb bunnys 1 Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 i have no issue with the dogs them selves, they are what they are, and will get good ones that do what the owners want by law of averages, its the continuous breeding and peddling and welfare thats wrong. 1 Quote Link to post
