I brought Mia out for the weekend to try and get her Grand CH title as she only needed 6 points. She did it in style by going Best of Breed both days! She is young and still maturing and will get even better.

 

 

Please be extremely careful when buying a Chesapeake, there are breeders that are NOT doing health clearances.

Chesapeakes have several debilitating genetic conditions that can be tested for, ask to see the test results, do not take anyone's word for it.  Ask for PRA, DM, EIC DNA test results at minimum! Just because it sounds good, doesn't mean it is legit. Ask to see AKC paperwork and OFA hips/ elbows/ eye results also.   Be an educated buyer or you may regret it years down the road when your cute puppy comes down with an awful disease that could have been prevented! I explain health clearances under the Puppy Info page.

I am happy to refer you to a quality breeder that does health clearances.
