Best In Show September 17, 2007
By Kristy
This was hilarious. If you enjoyed the move "Best in Show" by Christopher Guest, then you will love this actual documentary. There are no actors here, its the real thing.

Loved The Show !!! July 19, 2007
By J. Hahn
I greatly enjoyed this show. Having met Mark Lewis, the producer, he really did a fine job of putting together over 500 hours of taped interviews and showed ferret owners as real people. I hope he wins another Emmy for this show.

Living in Columbus I have the oportunity to go to the Ferret Buckeye Bash every year and can attest that it great show to go to. Ferret owners should consider coming and showing their pets. I for one will purchase the DVD to show support to PBS and Radio Pictures so they will continue to produce this type of program.

This program really shows the bond ferret lovers have with their pets and it brings out the humor and playfulness that's associated with ferrets in general. As a ferret owner, I found this program to be a delight. You can tell that a lot of thought went into putting this together, right down to the "caper/heist" music in the background while the ferrets were stealing everything in sight while Mom was distracted by a phone call. It also profiles the goings on in a major ferret show. It actually prompted me to attend that show this year (in Ohio and I live in Florida) and it was as much fun as was portrayed by this program.

It gave alot of information about showing ferrets, but it didn't really get into the details of what it would take to care for one. Read more

I happened to catch the last half of this on PBS once. My wife and I both just sat there engrossed in the TV for nearly 20 minutes before either of us said a word. Read more

I had originally purchased this dvd because I recently got a deaf ferret and this movie has a segment on training them which is very helpful. The rest of the dvd was interesting. Read more
