hancock lurcher

Funny how it is always the dogs fault when it fails, its never because the owner is totally inept.

 

Buy from genuine (that's a word miss understood by a lot of sellers) working stock fella unless you just want a show pony

I know two guys with hancock's and they've done very well with them both. Never let them down!

i had one about 15 years ago , caught fox, (deer with another dog, she was first to make contact) , hare and rabbits, worked with ferrets. she was with me for many seasons and hardly had any time off , i would love to have her back. she was 3/4 bred. i had her second hand after the previous owner had a litter from her . probably the best alrounder i have owned.

if a pup comes from healthy stock and is reared correctly you have as much chance as any with it . collies and greyhounds ,generations of good working stock.

A mate of mine, Millsy R.I.P., bought a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 beardy off Handcock about 25 years ago. By the time Tanner was around a year old he decided he wanted to sell the dog and he gave a trial. The dog jacked after a short run at a hare but inexplicably another pal who was there on the day bought the dog.

Tanner went on to kill a load of close range hares....he had a great mouth and accelleration....but after a couple of seasons he had every toe pointing in a different direction and eventually pulled up on another occasion in the exact same field as he had that first time. That was in the small fields in Ireland so if you were thinking of running hares on bigger land I would give Hancock a wide berth....although to be fair to the man he doesn't claim to breed hare dogs.

A mate of mine, serious ferreting man, bought a hancock dog 15-20 years ago. Says it's the best dog he ever owner (and he's had a few). Reckoned it taught him a thing or two!

in my oppinion a dog will only be as good as the man/woman thats got it no matter where it comes from whether it be untested or tested stock simple as that

imagine if hancock had of bred his dogs best to best and lurcher to lurcher,he could of kept track of the dogs which were working well and used those as studs, eventually he then could of line bred his best dog's and kept track of all the pup's progress and used them at stud if they made the grade.

 

in the time he's been peddling he could of created a very good line of dog's imo.
