Chesapeake
Bay Retrievers
| I
grew up hunting ducks and grouse with a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named
Goldie. Goldie was name after my great uncle's Chessie whom he hunted
ducks and geese with on the Missouri River back when you could shoot
all the ducks you could use. He had told me how his dog could work
all day in the cold water retrieving anything he shot. Sometimes,
if a duck or goose, would land on a chunk of ice and go floating down
the river Goldie would go after it anyway determined to make the retrieve.
Occasionally, my unlce told how he would have to leave his coat and
head home in the dark alone. Goldie was somewhere down river trying
to figure out how to get the bird. She could think on her own and
didn't need anyone giving her hand signals to complete a retrieve.
Usually, the next day, my uncle would return to find Goldie resting
on his coat with the bird she retrieved without any help or assistance
of a hunter. After hearing this and similar stories in about 1980
I decided a Chesapeake would be my dog of choice for hunting partner
and friend. |

River Rainbow
| This is Rainbow's
first litter and we are excited to see such a nice litter. She is
an awesome mother too. Rainbow was our pick of the litter from one
of Splash's litters and has slowly become the favorite dog of some
of the kids. They really like her protective nature which is quite
noticable in her mothering instincts. |
