This is Ramsey Creek's Wild Oats "Oats" He is out of River Bend Duke McGinty and CH Ramsey Creek's Foxx-Water Sadie. He is one major away from being a conformation champion. I have been unable to show him the past two years because of an ankle injury. We now take him out occasionally but for the most part he is retired. He is OFA/Good & Cerf'd. Oats produced one litter in which we got our Dori.
Hemann's Rmzcrk Sky Buster hangin' out.
Sky is a very laid back boy except when it's time to play. He has been hunted but not force broke. He naps in the blind and will only go get the birds when he feels in the mood. He is very well socialized and has been shown a few times. He has a long stride and my husband is the only one that can move him correctly and Steve doesn't like to show. Because of this he doesn't get as much attention as the other dogs and is left out of many of our activities. We are looking to place Sky in a pet home where he will play a more active part in his family's day to day activities. If you are interested in Sky you may e-mail me.
Dori and her trainer Terry.Dori has incredible drive and likes to be in the field more than anything! We hope to run her in some hunt tests this fall. Dori just got back from her yearly Canada trip where she retrieved over 100 geese and ducks!

Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are not for the first time dog owner. They require training and socialization at an early age. They are very smart and if you don't train them they will train you! Chessies are very protective of their home and family and if not socialized correctly, can be aggressive toward strangers. They will bond closest to the member of the family they consider to be the "Alpha" in their new family pack.
As Chesapeake Bay Retriever Breeders we want to produce a well rounded dog. Chessies were bred to hunt in the cold icy waters of the Chesapeake Bay and to protect their owners and their owners property. The perfect Chesapeake Bay Retriever should be athletic with a strong desire to retrieve. They should be protective of their home and family and still be a loyal and loving companion. With the proper care and training there is nothing a chessie can't do. Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are excellent scent trackers and can be trained as search and rescue dogs. Because of their natural desire to protect they make wonderful guard and police dogs. If properly trained and socialized they make good therapy dogs as well. Chessies are naturally athletic and take very easily to agility and other dog sports. A happy Chessie is an active Chessie! They are very good house pets (except for the shedding) and can even do well in apartments as long as they get plenty of exercise! We breed our chessies to be healthy, sound hunting dogs and family pets with a little extra attention to the beauty and conformation of the breed.

Oats is all tuckered out after a long game of fetch. Oats is considered an open coated light deadgrass.
Chesapeake's come in many colors: Dark brown to Light brown, Dark Deadgrass to Light deadgrass, sedge & tan. A chessies coat is shaded not one solid color and can change from season to season. It can be very hard to predict from puppyhood exactly what color a pup will be as an adult because a puppy's coat goes through so many changes. There are also differences in coat texture. Some chessies have what is referred to as a closed coat which is very tight curls or waves that are very coarse. There is also an open coat which is a loose wave that is softer to the touch. Then you have some that are somewhere in the middle either semi closed or semi open. Chessies are double coated which means they have a soft down like undercoat and a more coarse top coat. Most chessies shed some throughout the year but they "blow" coat at the change of seasons. spring being a full "blow" where they loose all of their old hair and grow a new lighter summer coat. A chessie coat is low maintenance only needing a bath if they get into something otherwise a good hosing off and a brush through now and again will do.
