well thats funny mate cause you dont see many hancock dogs in the dogs homes but yet its full to brim with bull type breeds mongrels greyhoundy types too says something to me that does. look theres a market an hencock is supplying the demand you dont like dont buy simple as that.. they have there uses there mainly rabbit dogs but in my opinion vertually owt with a bit of grey in it can catch a few bunnys not saying that it would be better than hancocks stuff but it would do a few bunnys,, as for trainability an brains for ferreting an longnetting then yes a collie bred is the one but forget fa
