My brother and uncle had dogs from Dave before i ever got into lurchers,I remember going with them for a day out when I was around 13/14' and I wasn't interested in running dogs at that age but always remember the journey home in the back of a marina van with two pups puking all over me .

my brother as a collie pup,he got him from a sheep farmer in next village , he's nice chunky pup ,he's going to use him on the lamp and ferreting , hopefully he'll do ok .

I've a first cross border collie greyhound, over a long time with various collie crosses he is the only Hancock I've owned. He's significantly bigger than the rest i've had which were all border crosses from classic low slung sheepdogs, interestingly he has good top end speed for a first cross although at the expense of agility at speed IMO. Very tough, high prey drive, cant fault his intelligence although he can be pig headed. On balance he's a decent dog. Interestingly its common for lurcher owners to spot he's a hancock bred dog and most owners seem to have been very pleased with theirs

Nice ,I think the Collie X the type most folk had ,my uncle always had what he called Norfolk lurchers "not from JB  then Hancock dogs 

I was talking to a lad few months ago,I was tieing my bedy grey up outside the shop and he had a Hancock bitch on the front seet of his work van ,I asked how she is  bred and he said she's a old drovers dog, anyway I went over give her a fuss and turned her ear and she had the Hancock mark ,she wasn't as racey as yours .
