BEEZERS RENNISIANCE ROSIE JH, WD

We will hunt with our other Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Rosie, when Thor is taking a break from the action. Rosie is a real sweet heart to have in the blind. While Rosie is smaller than Thor, don’t let her size fool you as She is a tenacious retriever in the water and in the weeds. Whether she is busting through ice to retrieve your goose or finding your prize wood duck in thick brush this little girl gets the job done.  Like Thor, she is steady on the shot and is also capable of marking multiple birds. Rosie currently has her Junior Hunter title.

CAPTAIN THOR'S GRACIE GIRL


Gracie is Thor's daughter from his first sired litter he sired. She will not be seeing any blind action for a couple years. She is going to concentrate on some hunt tests and trials first. This little girl has tons of go and many natural birding abilities so we have high expectations for her future as a gunning dog. She is planned for breeding in Spring 2010.

Gracie is competing in the derby of the 2009 American Chesapeake Club Field Trial Specialty.
