My 3/4 grey 1/8 beardie 1/8th border was a smashing rabbit dog fastest dog ive ever owned took alot of hares to and the occasional fox but wouldn't have cut it doing heavy amounts of fox.but would work during day with the ferrets then go lampin and probley lamp 5 nights a week in season sometimes  more so if I was to get another rabbit dog wouldn't look much further than that solid dog never laid up speed stamia brains easy to train but I am biased to my collie crosses 

Have u got any collie xs now and are they Hancock stuff ? I’ve got a 3/4 grey 1/8 beardie 1/8 boarder from Hancock and can’t fault him up to now

Yes he was a hancock he was blue merle and can't remember if he was out of luke or John dog to a greyhound bitch called copper he was a great dog to be fair.ive had a few from hancock and always done the job the best fox dog ive ever seen was a 5/8 3/8 out of Enoch it took everything in good numbers. Where had a mate who had a 1/4 border 3/4 greyhound and he said worst dog he's ever had needed a bit of lead behind the ear i took it on he was right no intrest in rabbits or hares but had a total hatred of fox he had his first 13months for me by accident really then never looked back as I didnt do the numbers of fox some did I gifted him to a friend who just did fox and he did good numbers he said best dog he ever had so just goes to show someone's crap is someone's best dog. As for photos I prob will have some kicking about somewhere if I get a chance ill have a look.and havnt had a dog on now for about 7 years or so

The best all-round rabbiter I've had was a whip/grey X beardie/grey.

Rabbited with all of them though
