undisputed 1,664 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Mushroom you started a thread libelling the rescue - not very diplomatic - and when challenged start swearing at me. Great way to have a discussion. The rescue is in good order and everything I've said about the service we provide is true. Sort yourself out and have the courtesy to inform yourself properly before you pass judgement on a rescue that does good work on the basis of one chat in a park. Listen petal my first post invites someone to give a reasonable explanation I couldn't give a monkeys what you say. I saw what I saw Keano's gripper & gm's max were every bit as good...as far as I know all negs pups that stayed local all wedded to fox. Looks like that line is gonna die out...shame that the line goes back nearly 30yr hancocks dogs are not shite for sure 90 feild trail winner ninty qaulifiers 91 92 qaulifiers for real hunting comps no plastic bags shows rossetes ,but time moves on and you get better dogs in you pen and well youi never go back thats what dogs are about moving on and getting better stamp I agree their not shite its just they were bulled up to some thing they were not and that was quality coursing dogs going on an advert hancock put in the hunters yearbook 1981 prompting lads to get the 3 quarter breds for hare coursing only instead of lamping and mouching dogs wich they excelled at.

Alaunt 4 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Just scanned some old pictures of my old Hancock dog. These were taken about 7 - 8yr ago before the ban came in. This first one was from a day out over the local estate which was pretty good going and shows what a Hancock is capable of. A bitch to be proud of Quote Link to post

undisputed 1,664 Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Here are some more with her old sparring partner Meg. This wee black bitch was only 23" but could mix it with any quarry.....the 2nd last one was a charlie she chased and caught and retreived across a burn...Meg was one of our own line and is the dam of keano's old dog Gripper, the last one shows the sire of our original line (Big black dog) the brindle is the brother of old meg. Shame they got to passs on Great looking back in all that Think Larson might be a better option given there's half gripper and half meg Quote Link to post
