salukiman 28 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 a lot has been said about david hancock but most of it seems to be just that, talk. i had the pleassure of watching one work last season at ferreting, owned by magpie and i wouldnt hesetate about getting a hancock pup, you put in the effort that magpie has and get a result anywhere near the dog that he has and you will have a dedicated worker and freezer filler for years to come. go see david and talk to him about what you want a phone call wont be no bother.

Guest reload Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 If you want a dog which is not from a PUPPY FARM and from PROVEN working lines, put some time in and wait for the right dog Link to post
Guest SJM Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hang in there and wait for something decent bred out of workers - I waited ages for the right collie greyhound litter to come along, but the dog is still here many years later and has repaid me a hundred times over. The pups were clean and well socialised and the parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc were all workers, it really does make the difference when pups have been bred and reared by someone who takes pride in their dogs and the work they do Link to post
shepp 2,285 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 You've only been looking on here for three weeks, it's a dog which could last you for 15 years not a plasma tv. I waited for my lurcher for over a year because i wanted one from certain lines and it took me a good six months to find my new terrier. The problem nowerdays is that everybody wants everything right now, that's the reason why everyone is up to there eye balls in debt and many thousands face loosing there homes. Shepp Link to post
