Had one in the early 90,s. A three quarter bred beardy border bitch, which turned out to be a really good little dog taking all british quarry although only roe in the venison steaks. But a lot didn't turn out to good, some mates had some that were none too clever, temperament issues and such like. Hancock churned out that many dogs that sods law said some had to turn out good. At least you got for your money a genuine half cross or three quarter ect. A lot of people only bought one because of plummers clever marketing antic,s with his books, would i have another ? NO i wouldn't, not knocking
