Chesapeake Bay Retrievers
Chesapeake
Bay Retrievers are what I consider the most wonderful dogs in
the world. Welcome to my website. Please take your time and enjoy
the pictures and information included. I have owned Chesapeakes
since 1965, when I was living in Baltimore, Maryland.
It took me a long time to find a chessie with good hips and eyes. Because
of this, I only breed chessies with OFA,
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, and CERF,
Canine Eye Registry Foundation, approval. That way I can confidently
guarantee the puppies’ hips and eyes for 24 months, so the good
traits are passed on and not the bad ones. Check out my puppy
site and see for yourself what
I have produced. Enough about me, now on with the show. Enjoy and thanks
for visiting.
