Interesting Facts:
  • Owned by Sarah Hemstock. Hancock was "M" line bred on his Sire's side, through Jolihem Adonis, Ch. Wychbury Kimbo & Ch. Widneyland Kim (both these dogs were admired by Lionel F. Hemstock and were central to his breeding programmes for both is red and brindle stock). Hancock was sired by Ch. Tridwr Dicey Riley, who's sire was Ch. Pitbull Red Regent, who's sire was Ir. Ch. Ban Ri Of Culiog, whos sire was Ch. Jolihem Ringmaster. He had an unbroken line of Champion sires all the way back to Wheatley Lad (a grandson of Brindle Mick - the sire of the breeds first Champion, Gentleman Jim). With Hancock, the Sire's line descends through different dogs than that illustrated by Jolihem Ironmaster and Ch. Jolihem Wildfire (Hancock's Dam), but it again demonstrates the potency of Jolihem Champions Ringmaster and Dreadnought as they produced both lines of Champion sires. Hancock is the only surviving dog carrying this unbroken line today. Champion dogs around today with the unbroken line of Champion sires through Ch. Jokartan Royal Tan (a son of Ch. Jolihem Ringmaster) include Ch. Domino Flashy Lad, Ch. Nordic Chief and Ch. Highland Dream.
  • Hancock was campaigned alongside his litter brother Jolihem The Equalizer and litter sister Jolihem Bitter Sweet as well as Jolihem Ironmaster & Jolihem Wild Rose.
  • Hancock won his CC under Bill Alexander and his Res. CC under Jillian Skelly (Skelstaff).
  • Hancock was only exhibited at a few shows and obtained a Stud Book entry at practically every Champ. show he was exhibited at.
  • PHPV & HC clear.
Character:
Hancock is very intelligent and also very demanding. Hancock demands attention by barking, once you stop stroking him he starts barking again.
He will accept any other dog - even to the point of having a Jack Russell hanging off the side of his face (he looked at me, I said "leave it!" and he did. He just sat there and waited for its owner to remove it).
Hancock and his brother, James, were inseparable until they were four years old. Both were used at stud and there was never a cross word between them. They were like one dog. James was fiery and Hancock was placid. Hancock would fuss people and James would fuss Hancock. Where one left off the other would start. They would eat exactly half their dinner and then swap bowls. It was uncanny and I have never seen this close relationship between two dogs before or since. However, on the the day my Dad, Lionel Hemstock, died they had a big fight and never made up. They were separated from that day, although they could be walked together, until James died last year just short of his 13th birthday.
