Hi guys. His my first post on THF. I'm a long time regular at TFF. After almost 14 great years, we had to put our boy Bo down last weekend. He was an incredible Chesapeake Bay Retriever. There aren't a lot of those around this area. While we don't intend to get a new dog right away, we want to have some ideas on where to go to find one. Does anyone know of a Chessie breeder in the DFW area? If so can you post or PM either a link to a site or a contact number? It would be much appreciated. I'm putting in a picture of our boy. It was a rough weekend.

Sorry for your loss, I'm sure that is tough to go through. I don't have any first hand knowledge of breeders, but you can keep an eye on Retriever training forum for pups that come available, and can research leads from there. Here is a link to the CBR puppies available currently: I'd check it every once in a while to see what is out there and who breeds them. http://www.retrievertraining.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?33-Classifieds-Chessie-Puppies Good luck

I've been looking at getting a Chessie myself. My fiancé and I have an Australian Shepherd right now. Here's a breeder I found a while back: http://www.foreveryoungchessies.com/home.htmlI am truly sorry for your loss. I'm not looking forward to the day we lose our dog.

Kelli Corcoran has a male and female puppy left. She's not in our backyard but she's not that far either. You're not going to find a good local breeder I'm afraid. Chessies are rare in TX much less in the DFW area. http://gepups.net/puppies.htmlGood Luck. Angie

Sorry to hear. We will not be looking to get another dog until September/October but because they are hard to find we are doing our home work now. Let me know if you have any other recommendations and we appreciate it! FYI I don't know if this will be familiar to you, but Bo's sire was Chestnut Hills James Bowie. He won best of breed at Westminster in 2003! Bo was not a show dog because of the white spot on his chest. We got him from Judith Haynes. Does anyone know what happened with her? We heard she retired a few years ago.

We heard she retired a few years ago. If you're looking more towards fall. I'll hopefully be able to help you then. I'm familiar with the Chestnut Hill's kennel. I do not know Judith Haynes. That doesn't mean anything though. I'm pretty new to the breed. Angie
