UNLESS A MAN HAS COURSED FULL SEASONS OF THE BIG LANDS ...... THEY AINT GOT AN OPINION ..

Sounds like a good pup you have mate and thats great. However just because you MAY get a good one is no reason to buy an animal that will hopefully be with you for ten years or more. I'd want good grafting parents. Also i think that to continue to support his puppy farm whist in the knowledge of what goes in there shows a lack of respect for lurchers and dogs in general. There are so many other options of where to get a pup from out there - why pick this one? Honestly - i think it's due to lack of knowledge or experience.
Out of interest what initially led you to Hancocks door?
welcome daryl,im new here as well,that collie dug is almost the spit markings wise of my 5 month old pup, and whats wi this feckin awe the feckin time, im to fecked for feckin,always feckin workin or oot walking the feckin dugs or feedin the feckin ferrets.
if you do get collie bred start socialising as soon as the pups had jags,take with u everywhere.mate got an older pup 1st x from hancock,was very nervous.
i am thinking of taking my pup out with lamp and throwing dummy.i think it will help to teach the dog to approach sitters,and then once competent take her out on her own after bunnys until shes mastered retreiving.
raw or boiled
meat raw veg raw or slightly boiled mate. once season has started dont forget about whole rabbit with fur u can feed this raw but some people boil and take if off the bone because of worms i do both.
think i will boil,just about to build kennel,will prepare bunnys etc once built,wifes abit squeamish with furry animals on kichen worktops.thanks for advice
