It's fun to get to know the new owners and meet fellow Chesapeake Bay Retriever people from all over. Not to mention the wealth of knowledge most the folks getting pups have about the breed. Seems that all of these CBR owners have had at least two CBR's or more. It really makes me feel like I've done a very respectful breeding and something good for the breed in general. I'm pretty humbled right now but, I'm also very proud-

I'll get over it.
There Paul fixed it for ya. Nice job on the breeding. Did you negotiate a hunt over weekend with each of the new parents?

I was told to buy a ticket and hurry up duck season!

If I remember correctly your last litter was sired by Dom's boy Rebel. Have you heard much about how those pups are doing?
Also, since your in Fall City do you happen to know anything about Wings Wildlife Studio? At our DU banquet last weekend I was high bidder on a mallard size mount. How good they are will determine which birds I pull out of the freezer to have them mount. This was my 11 year old sons first season as a shooter and we have lots of birds he wants to have mounted. I have a few special ones too.
Congratulations on the fine litter.

They are a special breed.

In my world there are very few things more wonderful than a good Chesapeake. A good Chesapeake puppy is one of them. :) Sounds like you have a pretty special litter. I watched the video about Coon Creek and fell in love. That looks like an awesome place for a Chessie to spend it's life.

Thanks- I've heard of the taxi-guy here but, I don't think I've ever met him.

Sunday I had a special day- In my first All-Breed Field Trial I got a JAM(what some call "Just Another Mutt" :)) I finished the trial yet didn't quite do welll enough for a placement. I had to handle on the last long retired water mark. Took me out of a chance at 2nd or 3rd. Judges Award of Merit is what it actually means. My training partner who is in the picture with me WON. It was his first ever field trial entry. We were both pretty happy with the results. He's never used a professional trainer. I worked with Tom and Katie Quarles alot last year but, have been training solo since Sept 2012.
