Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 only thing i could say is the greyhounds were coursing bred back then, or at least those passed on from john leathem were Quote Link to post

Wouldt mind owning one just like it.. that one bred by richard jones looks a strong dog mate He was a strong lad...good gutsy animal...broke a hind leg when he was 3 years old...left a big hole if I am honest...never ever found this dog out stamina wise and look at the fecking feet he had... shame that mate he did look a strong dog ,bully looking even .. 1985 3/4 bred by Taffy 3.jpg 1988 1/2 bred by Richard Jones 2.jpg 2010 3/4 bred by Kubla 4.jpg 2011 1/b bred by Alex IMG_1059.JPG As been said, the half cross out of richard jones is a real nice stamp borderscott.

low plains drifter 9,467 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 A lot slate him but yet to see a weedy looking dog from his yard.seen several f1 and they were big 26" and built like tanks. Got one of hancocks books,my life with lurchers,see he has had worldwide interest in his stock,good pic of teddy moritz with her dog lee,and a couple of big hares I have'nt looked in this book for about 6 years,I dont forget much when it comes to the dogs,it's only my A hole,but I reckon a business cannot last this many years without doing something atleast halfway right Quote Link to post

My RJ dog from him was stolen at 2 year old, fairly well known locally as a demon on fox.and as there were lots of lurchers around us at that time the thieving p***y twat knew what he was doing.

birddog 1,354 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 All the dogs off hancock seem to be racey is that because the collies he uses or is it just a bigger percentage of greyhound in them. Is there a difference between border collie and meril collie and dose he have any straight border greys? sorry if it's been asked before atb Marvel not been on his site for a wee while, had a wee look and he has some 1st x border / greyhound pups for sale Quote Link to post
