Title: Chesapeake
Post by: 92xj on December 20, 2011, 08:02:45 AM: Anyone know of a Chesapeake Bay retriever breeder? I am looking for a female for myself to get after the holidays and have found one breeder in the tri-cities but have no desire to spend the high dollar amounts they are asking.

Post by: Happy Gilmore on December 21, 2011, 10:20:02 AM: I'm here....Kaie was bred a week and a half ago. Waiting to see if it takes. I had posted the breeding in an advertisement but, had a mix up based upon my misunderstanding of some eye test results. I was quickly straightned out by a Linda Harger. She's one of the top field trialers' in the US AND has Chessies.

As far as breedings from the Tri-Cities, one person in particular has established a terrible reputation within the Chessie community. I've seen numerous people post on different webpages saying they had money stolen from them when putting down deposits on expensive dogs. There are also a lot of dogs which end up in the pound in the Tri-Cities for one reason or another. Clayton Evans, a very respectable breeder and field trainer up in Cheney seems to rescue Chessie after Chessie from down there.

Sign up for this chat room and say hi- great people and THE TOP breeders/field trialers and show folks from all across the US all post here regularly.. Feel free to PM me or call anytime. I like talking dogs and I know just about every breeder around either through reputation or meeting them at our National Chessie events both show and field.

When was that? I sold some a while back :dunno: I'm not doing it again though! the only people that buy chessies are people that have had them before! they have a bd rep and it's hard to get by! I would put my dogs demeanor up against any lab any day :twocents:
