i know why everyone slags hancock they think he is in it for the money maybe he is.but if you are new with lurchers and have a hancock pup dont be put off with comments that they will be shite etc. put the effort in training be patient dont overmatchmatch the pup. the more sensible input you put in the more you will get back from your dog.i got 2 dogs off hancock in the late 80s they both did me proud.

the first dog was collie greyhound chuckles crossed to a greyhound little bess take rabbits day night hares day someone poisoned him when he was 2 years old.second dog beardie remus crossed greyhound peaches take rabbits day night could also take hunted up hares day no problem not bad for a half cross. if you have a hancock dog stick with it put the work in be sensible and im sure you will be more than happy. i had lurchers for over 20 years i am new to this site and forums in general i am 46 years old i cannot beleive how many muppets there are on here stupid comments etc.

a half cross is certainly no hare coursing dog. i have full admiration for coursing dogs and there owners. i just was always out at first light and let the dog hunt up which really years ago was what lurchers were all about one for the pot. things have changed very much over the years. a good half cross will take hunted up hares a three quarter cross will take them easier. people could take me to task about hunted up hares but it is a lot harder than lamped hares in my opinion.

just take your time everyone is in a rush these days people write dogs of to easy. a collie cross should make a good ferreting dog good lamp dog take hunted up long ears.i cant comment on fox or deer because i had no intrest in hunting them at all but that is just me i am sure people have owned collie crosses capable of taking them.bye for now.
