I just wanted to put a feeler out to see if anyone has any knowledge, good or bad, of this Chesapeake breeder?

Link: http://www.cantonchesapeakes.com/Chesapeake_litters.html

There are a lot show credentials on the website and that is not particularly what I am looking for.  I think that they are good looking dogs. The health checks seem to be pretty good though.  The stud has a sister that is a SH so they should do fine in the field.

I have owned a Chesapeake before and like the breed.

Thanks in advance for any help.

the breeding is close to my oldest bitch. Pretty much the same lines both sides. Remember in the Chessie world, the venue of titles definately doesn't define the purposing of the dogs. If it were a bunch of "CH" in front of the pedigree names on a lab I'd tell you to walk away in 90% of the time.

The breeding is sound with well known lines and good showing of health testing. If you are looking for a hot rod dog which will be capable of quickly working into the hunt test world at a high level it might not be the top choice. if you are looking for a good looking, healthy hunting partner and family dog it will probably be a great breeding.

Picked up a female on Friday.  I will get some pictures up when I have some time. Really happy with the choice so far.
