    Good answer Locke I totally agree with what you have just said.But how many people have actually seen the pure blood parents of their first cross lurchers work? Not many I would assume.

    How many times is this arguement going to come up? I have seen several Hancock dogs that are and were exceptional dogs. I agree that the breeder should start the socialising of the pups. I have seen a lot of dogs work from proven parents that were total shit and I have also seen top class dogs work that were from unproven parents. Are you saying that the lurchers would be any better if their collie sire herded sheep?? How many matches would your pit bull have to have won to produce a viable lurcher?

    I can't be bothered to get into this arguement,but I feel that I should put a few people straight on a few points.Hancock produces genuine Collie lurchers.They are bred from a Greyhound that has either raced or coursed and a collie from some of the finest working lines around.Basically if you mate any dog to a sighthound the young if shown game will work,so it doesn't matter if the parents have been worked to death or not.When you pick up your pup usually at eight weeks of age it is then your job to socialise the pup. A puppy peddler buys in pups and sells then on.Hancock sells the pups that

    Exceptional dogs in the right hands.You only get out of them what you put into them.If you put the time into them you will be rewarded. The Beardie/Borders have exceptional attributes,feet second to none,good bone,stamina,thick skin etc etc.They are put together to withstand the worst elements that nature can throw at them.All you have to do is bond with them and show them plenty of game.It's all down to you.

    Great thread lads,lets have some more pics,stories etc on the Wheaten crosses.
  7. Moorman 1
    Thanks for the info Chris,and I totally agree that you only get out what you put in.As I always say they don't get good by sitting in the kennel. The Wheaten crosses do seem to getting more popular recently,nice to see some pics of fine examples of the cross,cheers.
  8. Moorman 1
    They both look great Chris cheers for posting.Do you have any other pics of the first cross?

    Sorry Rabbiter,I didn't realise that you came from New Zealand.

    The Irish terrier cross looks a real cracker has it ever encountered a game bird thief,before the *** obviously?

    As Wheaton/Greyhounds are getting more popular and there seems to be a lot of interest in them.Could someone that has owned/worked one put up some pics as I think it would be interesting to see some genuine first cross animals.

    Hi is there anyone out there working first cross Wheaton Greyhounds?I would like to know what sort of size a first cross male would make.Also any pics of first cross's would be appreciated.I see that they are becoming more popular now.I once had a 3/4 greyound Wheaton and he started to give tongue,he had plenty of speed so are the first crosses prone to this fault. Any info would be appreciated.

    I can't believe that its so difficult to find a breeder of genuine first cross Bedlington/Greyhounds bred from working Beddy's.The cross is one of the most popular original lurcher crosses.A few years back there were lots of people breeding the cross.They are a gutsy little dog that gives everything and will tackle all quarry.If anyone is breeding or working the cross,then I would like to hear from you.
  14. Moorman 1
    Cheers lads,I have done a search but can't find any info?

    Is there anyone in the UK breeding Airedale x greyhound first crosses.I saw a few about years back and noticed working Airedales advertised a while back.

    Nipper I asked the very same question on another forum and not had any replies from anyone that has used it.

    Believe it or not this farm was being heavily bated with poison,and it is a really clean place.You would never know that the rats are there in these numbers until the sheds are moved once a year,as the rats all live in the chicken manure under the sheds. There aren't any there now as the farmer has changed his line of business,and no longer has any chickens. Oh yes and the dogs were all out of action for a bit you wouldn't believe the stick they took.

    Another snap,same place different day.

    Very nice mate,I thought the Patterdale had something to do with Nuttall about it.I haven't heard of the Russell breeder but they look cracking very much like some of Chapman's stuff. Keep us posted on their progress.

    Cracking team for the coming season. What breeding is the small,smooth Patterdale in the middle and what bloodline are the Russells.

    That was the first time that I had done that farm,the next time I did it we invited Eddie Chapman down with a few of his friends and we only had about 1000 but it was still a good day.Last winter we had Eddie down and a few lads from Wales and it was a bit of a disappointment we only took somewhere between 1 and 2 hundred. On that first occassion believe it or not the farm had been baited heavily with poison but they seemed to be thriving. Last winter was the last time as the farmer has now gone into another line of business and has no chickens anymore. (Bullet that is not the 4x4

    The 9th dog was someones bedlington whippet collie,that just kept getting in the way.It was chasing rats but wouldn't pick them up.
  23. Moorman 1
    The tally was 2000,one of my mates counted well over 1600 on the trailer,then we walked around the sheds there were hundreds of dead rats laying around everywhere,as we didn't bother to pick up the smaller ones. They were cleared from the freerange laying sheds that are moved on skids once a year,when all the birds are culled.

    A days ratting a few years ago with eight terriers.
