Dogs- Hunting the Chesapeake with Chesapeakes!

 

Thor, a large dark brown Chesapeake Bay Retriever, is  our main gun dog. He trains year round and is involved in many field tests during the off season. Right now Thor currently holds his Junior Hunter title and is nearly complete in his Seniors tests. He was a recent finalist at the 2007 Maryland Waterfowl Assoc. Gundog Championship competition. He is very steady to the shot with multiple mark capabilities. He is also proficient in blind retrieves. There are no birds to large, retrieve to far, or water to cold for this tough intrepid Chessie. 

 

We will hunt with our other Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Rosie, when Thor needs 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 also has her Junior Hunter tittle.
