noble1 34 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Wouldn't have any more than 1/4 collie in. I've got a Hancock bred bitch. Far to clever for her own good. She's only young so we still working together to make sense of each other but she has a strange way of working. Nothing like me bull x haha Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Maybe would have a 3/4 bred bitch but the 3/4 bred dog I had was knocking on for 28'. First cross in the pipeline all being well. 1 Quote Link to post

Hopefully I've a half cross sorted if not I've had a couple off good offers for greyhounds to breed my own .... 1 Quote Link to post

Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hancock would snap your hand off for him as a stud dog.. Quote Link to post
BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hancock would snap your hand off for him as a stud dog.. Hancock had one the same way bred....about a year older than Finn and almost identical....I saw it when it was about 6 months old and really liked it....but apparently it was ran over and killed at the end of his drive....

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Always kept a collie x, can`t see past them to be honest. I was tempted to just getting a smaller beddy x a coupla years back, but stuck with the cur. Got a beddy x as well though lol. Tye. An amazing dog, and very fondly remembered by a lot of folk that knew him. My current 2 yr old Jake,, a Hancock bred half x 5 Quote Link to post

Sirius 1,358 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Finn my first x collie/grey... Done all I have asked....looking forward to winter..... rsz_1pict1393.jpg Very nice, I assume he's a beardie/border x grey? Was he bred my Hancock? Quote Link to post
beast 1,884 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 personally, i like the first cross better than a 3/4. a lot of 3/4s come out just too greyhoundy, but i have seen a couple which turned out like a big strong super fast first cross and they were awesome. seen very good border and beardie first crosses, but the best all-rounder i've ever seen was a border-beardie (hancocks mr jones) half cross, absolutely superb bitch. the best ferreting dog ive ever watched, would take birds anddeer with ease (up to fallow doe size) and was a tolerable hare courser, not just hunted up but with a fair slip. great nose and feet, and virtually indestructible. ive also seen some excellent collie grey X collie grey, but its a bit pot luck, the litters can be variable and i have seen almost pure collies from this breeding. it needs to be taken forward for a few generations before the consistency comes into the breeding. 3 Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 A nice half cross, is he bearded collie. Yup He is reverse 3/4 bearded x grey, crossed with a 3/4 grey x border Brother to Hancocks three dogs he calls the naughty boys. First time he has done a lurcher to lurcher x Quote Link to post
