Moorman 1 1,395 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Brock,I own and work a Chapman bred Russell. He's two and a half and I'm pleased with him.I have dug and bolted many foxes with him.All of last season I worked him on his own and we had a very good season with him.I work him with my lurchers and I have worked him out with my local hunt. He has proven himself to be a useful member of our team,I can't really say any more than that. What breeding is your brothers Russell? Quote Link to post

Guest pat-r-dale Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 My friend used one accross his bitch and they are awsome dogs and lovely looking! I know he charges a fair bit but the dogs ive seen produced are very good indeed! I very nearly bought a pup from him this year too! If i didnt love my patterdales so much i would have one of his over anything! Oh and that is a nice looking jack russell on there! Mean looking little b*****d too!! Quote Link to post
Limb 31 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Mate of mine used to keep them. 2 of the dogs were reasonably decent dogs, but the bitches he bred were often rubbish. He eventually went to a well known russell man from Barnsley and got some real crackers. Read Chapmans book and read what he often considers to be a usefull dog might help you make your mind up. I have heard many people swear by them i'm just telling my limited knowledge of them. Quote Link to post
Moorman 1 1,395 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Found another pic of him, he's bottom left. Limb,I think its horses for courses.I know what you are saying but I firmly believe that a lot of it is how much and what you show them.I have seen a lot of good and bad in all breeds over the years and they certainly don't get good sat in a kennel.A lot of it is down to experience.

Guest grubygrafter Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 eddie chapman has and probably still does breed some cracking terriers. having said that he breeds a lot of pups and from what ive seen they can only be discribed as varied . if your thinking of breeding from one make sure its a good worker out of workers . nice dogs moorman Quote Link to post
