Mind you, I've also heard of 1st cross beddy/whippets that were demons at killing fox! Heresy I say, but who knows?! Lol

As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters really in the grand scheme of things

I think most people on here now realise plummer was full of shit, as you yourself are. Let it go, you'll feel a lot better lol

I seriously think you need to wake up, and let the bitterness go lol

1st x deer/grey 30 tts, and also took everything else, and I mean everything. Not ownened by me I hasten to add, but my best friend. At his peak on fox, I'd say it was roughly 1986-89 or thereabouts

You are the 1 saying my dogs won't catch anything.but you ain't seen a pic of them lol. I'm full of shit?! Ooooh how rude! Lol. Yeah I have seen a couple of pics you put up, but it's only the one of the pale dog jumping a fence I remember. You crack on with your bull x's

And it aint 'my wisdom' or whatever derogatory remark you care to make about what I've written, it's a bit of common sense, a bit of experience and and also NOT BEING A SHEEP

I'm not having a go of you fella.I wish you good luck with your pup and hope it does what you want. I was asking shark a question which he has avoided. Avoiding you I certainly aint fella, And if you want, or feel the need to source dogs from only linebred animals, in the belief that that's what you need to do to produce a worker, like 75% of the 'sheep' on here, well that's your perogative. Plenty of shit produced from linebred animals, and more inbred faults, weaknesses etc, by breeding to only certain lines etc than most outcrossed animals.Good luck with your golly bred dogs lol So woul

Lovely pup

That's what I was alluding to in my earlier post. Besides not having the opportunity to catch 30 or 40 in a session, the welfare of my dogs, at all times, comes before my ego, or even the desire to catch more than anyone else etc. Observing my dog and making sure it's ok whilst it's working has always been my main concern. Not having a dig at anyone in particular, but some of the posts put up by some of the older, good dogmen. has in my view, led some youngsters, that are simply not able to condition a dog as well as some of the older guys, to try to emulate or even better them. Just the way

As you've quite correctly said, observation of my dogs, some would say overcautious and bordering on fanatical lol, is key to maintaining good health and wellbeing at all times . I've never used eloctrolytes and will probably never have the need to.
-
Similar thing with me when I did a fair amount of lamping. Bit of a rest after each run and made sure they had a drink of water, usually from a stream, every so often. No problems ever. But like gaz just said, I don't think electrolyes would do any harm

He's a nice little pup, should do ok on the rabbits lol

You will NOT get done, common sense prevailing

easy to see the benefits of a bitch having nice small litter, its blindly obvious in them pups fat as butter ,often wondered why some lads want bring on some these massive litters we often see, still down to them i suppose. what you mean? why its squirrels thread what my dogs got to with anything,aint no collie in them Kin el WK, is it me reading things wrong or are you mellowing with age?! Not so long back I would have expected a prolonged tirade of abuse as a reply from you! Tut tut tut lol
-
Lovely bitch, nice size too
-
That's basically all I was saying is don't listen to, or be put off by what others say, or how hancock conducts his business. Nothing wrong with the dogs he breeds, or how the place is run. And if you want a genuine cross/type it's all there, and the breeding etc. Looks a nice bitch that albert64

Ray, a quick question to you. I've owned a GSD bitch many years ago, but never a pure collie. I've had various lurchers with a fair bit of collie in, but never a 1st x. Is buck a more forgiving/easier dog to handle than bryn, both being 1st x's? being honest , there both of a sensitive nature, so both same in that way, you have treat them with kid gloves . But prob Bryn the worse really, if you just look at him wrong, you may as well take him home, where as Buck just wants to hunt day/night, even in pain or if you give him a bollocking lol, he more full on temp in the hunting mode, tha

Nothing wrong AT ALL with the dogs I've seen directly from hancock, or dogs bred from dogs from hancock. Going up this friday with my son to pick his pup up. Seen a few over the years, NOT picking their runs, NOT stalking, and as keen on taking anything that any other type/cross is run at. And in my opinion, and what I've seen, the people that have owned collie x's, from anywhere, not just hancock, and have had little success with them, have been impatient and a bit clueless if I'm honest, and would have little success with any type of lurcher. An old friend of mine and his brother, both go

Good info there sirblessed, enjoyed that . I suppose there are many similarities with deer/greys and deer/collie/greys over here

No greyhound blood in there buddy... He one of your pups then snifferboy. Just a slight question as to the height that's all, as you don't hear of too many beddy/whippets that tall at that age. Lovely pup though I think they are all roughly that size buddy, mine is a touch smaller, more like her mum but my dads is a giant... Looks like it should be pulling a cart!!! Bare in mind that the Sire is 22" and 18kg's so they should level off at around that, thats what I'd hoped for... I get what you're saying . I've owned whippets over 22" in the past, and none were fragile

You'd not find me walking about all night on a freezing night in january either! Lol
