Anyone Running 3/4 Greyhound 1/4 Border Collie


Recommended Posts

Dogs don't need to be worked to produce good workers and good workers don't produce good stuff either. Surely there's been enough topics to prove this? Nothing is set in stone.

Hancock knows how to breed a litter, for example, I know good few people that are taking rhfd, from the stud Merlin, also know dogs from woody, delboy and boycey taking rhfd, also know dogs out of kubla taking rhfd, also know dogs out of Arthur 1/2x taking rf and odd h.

Also know Alex dogs taking rhfd, lol now call it what you want but I bet it's not "luck" it's about putting time into the dog and showing it game. Same as any dog.

Ye few of the hancocks don't like foxes, but that could said about bull xs I know as well, or did know of before they met their maker lol.

Edit to add, reason I said bull x is because they are what you would have a fox specialist, but even they jack

Not now but the first lurcher I ever had was bred this way. IMO they would still suit a lot of lads. Mine had huge prey drive and was quite trainable. She would have a good go at whatever she ran at b

The bigger of the two is the cross you mention my first lurcher as well

The last 4 Hancock dogs I've seen have been real poor,,,and I'm talking about really struggling to catch a rabbit,,,two were half crosses,,,one a 3/4 grey,,,I forget the % of the fourth.....   Lads

But is buying a pup of Hancock a wise decision.

I've read lads on here saying that his dogs and bitches ain't workers.just breeding machines.

There are enough people that know how to bring a dog on properly, i e, not rush it, not try it at 'teeth' at 9-10 months, don't expect or try to catch 15-20 rabbits on it's first night on the lamp etc, that keep going back to hancock. They must be the wise ones :thumbs:

but would you agree that buying a pup off good parents who are good at there job is a safer bet of producing.than buying a pup off parents who live in there run.and ain't worked at all.

i get what your saying but who breeds just collie and greyhound, that is all I want in the dog. Not lurche to lurcher that could be too big too small not quite fast enough etc. which does happen. By knowing percentage u sort of predict where u are.

 

Like I said though, how many topics, for instance on the Choco dog thread, supposed to be a really good dog but produced shit? Nothing a guarantee. Simple as that really.

I know loads of lads with hancocks from up n down country who catch plenty, and KEEP there dogs which obviously means a lot. Lol

Collie greyhounds of Hancock ,i would strongly advise to get one from somewhere else,ive have five from him over the years first one out of the original merle,last one out of boycey,

first one ok did very well,then all dogs went down hill,i am not slagging Hancock but as someone who has experience over a long period of time with his dogs,i would not own another of him.

However i would have another collie cross but from elsewhere.

What running do you do

Rabbit and hare , with the odd fox (legal here in NI) on most types of ground ..
and you run a reverse?
No , I said id rather have a reverse 3/4 than a 3/4 grey ... But ill be trying a reverse 3/4 in the future
fair enough, but I'd say you'd be fairly disappointed with one running hare

Maybe running a hare , but not hunting one up

I run at the minute a 5/8 3/8 bitch ie 3/4dog over a half bred bitch she is into her 3rd season and is doing everything I need work with terriers good round cover and holes never pulls out bred by some lads from north Wales had Hancock dogs in the past were good all rounders but give up on the foxes after a couple. Of seasons this was years ago don't know if it was my fault or the dogs maybe I just give them to much so left the collie xs alone for a few years but this bitch has opened my eyes to them again if she keeps this up will be looking for a good Proven collie greyhound to go across her

I think it'll be a last options going to Hancock if I what I could breed of my brother 3/4 collie but he hasn't done a lot of work and could put him over my 3/4 whippet hound and at leat Id know the bitch has worked.

what was wrong with the dogs you had mate? If there were any problems and they went down hill should of contacted David.

A fella o get on well with has had 14 hancocks his latest being 16 months old I think, all his dogs have worked to a good std and he was happy with them. He does ferreting hunting and lamping all do everything he wants. He did say that he wouldn't have beardy x off him or any of the naughty boys pups as the sires are narrow and shallow chested. That's why he sticks to border x as a rule.

I personally think Hancock should breed the beardy border x like he does the border as there's too much variation in the "woody,delboy,boycey" litters.

Interesting reply anyway.

have you seen a reverse running hares there? If so any chance of some pictures. Even hunting up, only way I'd say they would have them is right out the seat. U see full blown hare dogs getting walked up to 10 yards sometimes and that course goes 2+ minutes lol
