Found a great pup. 10 weeks old blond chessie. Still working on a name. Lots of master hunters in pedigree. Bought the dog from a duck hunter, chessie enthusiast and ex-military guy... He's retrieving and fitting in great. Didn't break the bank either... Feels good to be excited about a dog, not just missing my old one...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

"blonde" is actually "deadgrass", I believe; unless you're getting one of those silver 'peakes I've seen pictures of. 

Congrats on the new pup.

Do you mind telling us where you got him?  I have a friend looking for a new dog.  Feel free to PM me if privacy is necesary.

I actually found him on the little nickel... A fellow hunter and retired army guy got into chessies because his unckle had one on his california rice farm... Apparently great hunting.... Chief, the dog, was the last of the litter and the runt.. The sire was a sedge 80lbs and the dam about 45-50lbs a brown... and I mispoke Chief is a deadgrass... This guys name was Tyson and lived near Ames lake (near Readmond Fallcity RD) got to bring the little guy with me to work... I have an "IN" with the boss.  ;)  We didn't have a name picked out when ge got him. My 4yr old thought Trixy and Swoop were good names for my male... Ya not so much... While talking about dogs from my wife and my child hood, my daughter must have latched on to Chief... My father had an Alaskan malamute he rescued with that name... So when people ask me what tribe my dog is from I reply... The Marines! OSDT Master Chief!  :guns: :mgun: :mgun2: :bfg:

Do you know his pedigree? A lot of very good Chessies can be found stomping around Ca.....

Let me know Mom and Dad's name. From there I can look up the whole history- I'll forward you to a couple sites to check out for pedigrees-

In the mean time- a good Chessie page. Lots of whos-whos of the Chessie world. A great place to ask questions for health, training etc. lots of good people nationwide.

I'm guessing those are pics from the fall city area training grounds and the columbia river? Went to a hunt test at the training grounds about 11 years ago... A chocolate grand poodle kicked some tail..

Carlson's and above Vernita. You think it may have been a Irish Water Spaniel? Poodles are not retrievers, can't play hunt AKC hunt test games. A common mistake however.

It may not have been AKC and it was a grand poodle...
