Some great posts on this thred. Borderscot, that was an honest account. Lloydy, wise words too...
I've owned two Hancock dogs and both were pretty good, in the field BUT I have to say the kennel was a different matter...
Thing is, I never raised these dogs, they were give-a-ways. Given for behavioral problems at home.... Though neither was nasty, in any way, just 'quirky', one was very neurotic....
What i will say, is that if you REALLY know your pastoral blood, then there may be a puppy for you from those kennels, you know whats in it and you should know what, if you put that effort in,
