Struggling to understand whats strange about it Gilbly. Oh f**k it I know what I meant. 

Last night I sat for a long time thinking, mulling over. Its all words isnt it. To me a puppy farmer is someone who breeds several breeds, refuses to let you visit, see parents ect, come riddled with health issues, meet half way or deliever with pup..someone shifty shady. Dogs in shit conditions ect. Thats what I personally class a puppy farmer. Hancock definatly from my own humble opinion seemed non of these but google says farming. The activity or buisness of growing crops and raising livestock. So for better want of a word...oh I dont f***ing know. It just gets on my tits when you come on asking a simple Question and people start messing with your head, lording it up what should and should and shudnt be. I didnt ask for anyones views on hancock, or why I chose the pretty colour I asked about the cross regardless of who bred the thing. But this site isnt what it used to be ive been a donator since 2006, used to be full of sound non judgmental advice. Now its just full of people looking for a do 

your associating me with some of the"special people" that come on here at times by quoting me at the end if that lol. Again best of luck with your pup, id say get him as soon as possible, the more socialisation the better but you'll know that with your past

If it had beardie in it, I can well understand not getting another.  Taffy, beardie/border x grey,  was the sire to one of my old dogs, caught me loads of deer and hare, probably my best catch dog.  But the c**t did my head in, and almost every dog I've seen with beardie in from there has been the same, from his original beardies and the ones he's got now.  The border crosses have been far more responsive and amenable, and are just as tough and as good at working as the dogs with beardie in.

I'd never have another dog with beardie in.  Life's too short

Mate u go and get your dog I hope it does great for u because  u have put up with a lot of shit on here about hancock and u have stuck to it I went round this week to look at that 3/4 bred for a mate and the place was ok not ideal but ok  but I think u are doing right for having it at 8 weeks because  that pup was a bit nervous  and no fun in it 

[FastDogz 155]

Thanks for that. Which pup mine? Or the one you went to view?

Do you mean you went to view my pup specifically? Or another 3/4 bred?

[troyboy17 631]

No not yours a 5 month old one that is what I mean  left to long without  human contact

[FastDogz 155]

Oh right. Yeah i met a few of the older pups the rough coated black and white and the smooth coated blacks. Aye early socialization is vital, did your mate get the pup?  

[troyboy17 631]

No he was after the collie marked one and in all fairness  she offered him a good deal but there was something  about it that I didn't like no fire for a pup

[nothernlite 18,028]

[FastDogz 155]

I guessed it was him mate,that partnership was 50% him 50% the dog,he was a fanatical lamper out every single suitable night right across the country,the dog was built for the job and had a lot of bottle.

Queer feckers to some those beardies.

 

But my point was that if you found a source of the best dog you had in 40 years experience, why would you not go back for another? Either it wasnt that good, or experience told you it was a one off.
