I'll probably be breeding her around June pending all her health clearances come back positive. If you're interested come down. She'll be at the sportsman show with me in the Rainier Hunting Retriever Booth on Friday night and probably on and off Saturday.

Good luck! i watch the stuff on TV sometimes. I love to watch animals work. I'd say the only reason to be embarrassed is if you were going to a cat show. :):yike: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I as well will catch it on the tube once in a while, love it when a hunting dog does well, or one of them big ole slobbery st bernards as oppsed to the little toy dogs. Good luck.

I wish they woulds mixup the toy groups with the working and hound groups though, it would sure make it more interesting, lol
Kibbles and bits, lol

That is one hilarious movie. Maybe I'll watch it again and see if there is some dude in the back in camo. LOL

I try to make a point of watching at least a little bit of the Westminster dog show on tv each year.
Might be a bit embarrassed if you entered a rabbit show if you're over the age of 15.

Reminds me of the movie "Best of Show"

Sunday: Kaie is winners bitch. Meaning she beat all other females. 4 point major towards her CH.
Monday: Kaie is again winners bitch and beats three specials(already Champions) and is awarded Best Opposite.(male won best of breed, she is best opposite(bitch))
Walked away with 9 points and two major wins. This sometimes takes people years to get their two required major wins.(major means there must be enough other (females in this case) to compete against.
I'm a "Happy" dude. Kaie is well on her way to being a show champion and has her AKC Senior Hunter title to go along with it....."what's the show if its got no go?"
She's off to show in Portland Wednesday through Sunday. I sure hopes she finishes her title that fast- save me A LOT of cash!

Another "Happy" day- Kaie won in Portland again today- been a great two weeks for her....it is possible, by somewhat of a long shot she could become a Champion tomorrow if she wins over all the bitches at the show. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Kaie took second place on Saturday. Handler said she was being a PITA. They had a chat about her behavior that evening and got on the same page.
Kaie won winners bitch and best of winners on Sunday for another 2 points.
Two week total was 4 majors won and 13 points tallied up. Need two more and she's have a CH(show champion) title to go in front of her name and the SH(senior hunt test title) at the end.
Planning a very nice breeding in June for anyone contemplating a Chesapeake....

Our youngster P!nk was in Portland too and she did alright for being in a very awkward-looking growth stage at the moment. She's back home with us (we co-own her with her breeder/our handler and she takes care of the bench show part) to get on some birds in prep for hunt test season! WHOO HOOO!
..and where, ahem, are the PUPPY PICTURES to accompany this thread? I know the show pics aren't available yet, but I know you must have other pics of your girl!

CONGRATS! I am a huge proponent of dogs with titles at both ends!
