nighttimenellie 4 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Got my coppies of Chippers 2 dvds the other day but only got time to watch them yesterday. The first one features Chippers Bob, doing daytime work to ferrets, it was filmed by just the lads themselves and as a result has a really authentic feel to it, which i personnly like, Bob is a great stamp of a dog and is the proof that not all great rabbiting dogs have to be around the 20-23 inch mark, as Bob standing at 26 inch snaps up rabbits with as much class as i have seen in any dog, and ofcourse he has the usuall great retrieve that Chipper seems to get all his dogs to do(show off lol)i would recomend this dvd to anyone, its a great watch with a great dog doing what it did best, i just wish i had had the chance to see this fine dog in real life, but this film is a very good substitute. The second dvd is filmed more profesionally(i hope thats the right term) and features Nell, a grandaughter to Bob featured in the first dvd ,now this little dog is a stunner, 23 inch of pure hunting power, i must say i have had the pleasure of seeing this dog work in the flesh and in my opinion it was as good as it gets , in the dvd you get a taste of how this dog works to ferrets and also you get to see it hunting up in reeds and bracken, some cracking action in this dvd, which is no mean thing as ferreting must be one of the hardest forms of hunting to film as you have no controll over when the action will happen. You can see the amount of work that has been put into producing these dvds, and i dont mind admiting im biased towards these dogs, but i loved both of the dvds, and recomend them to anyone, all the best Nellie.
