My uncul said he went up Scotland to get his pup and he said he never see or had another dog like gripper ,said it not the fastest type but like he says speed not everything, he went over the water to get a irish coursing bitch and bred a litter and pups was  ok but none as good as gripper .for him to day best dog he ever had says a lot as he's had some good dogs over the yrs .

Probably bred out of a proper bearded collie . I have heard good and bad reports of this cross that came out of Hancock's kennel's.

This lad used to do Moocher. He probably still does. He did a lot of rabbit control and had access to proper working beardies. Haven't spoken to him in a few years.

If you get one then hopefully its of sound temperament for you. The one I had was physically sound but mentally unstable.

They weren’t called weirdy beardies for f**k all

Definitely the most accurate description for the mental b*****d.
