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.
