Madrona Chesapeake Bay Retrievers

 

Breeding

Breeding is something I take very seriously.  Bringing new Chessies into the world should be done with careful thought of enhancing the breed.  If I could keep every puppy I would.  Knowing I can not, I strive to find the very best homes for future pups.  In turn, I will provide the new puppy owner with a Chesapeake that is bred to be within the breed standard, have an excellent temperament and willingness to work in the field retrieving birds or just in the backyard with a bumper or ball. 

I believe in health clearances for breeding animals.  These include OFA Hips and Elbows screening for dysplasia, OFA exam for the eyes, and DNA blood tests for at least PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) and DM (degenerative myelopathy). and EIC (exercised induced collapse)   Visit the Health Page to learn more.   This information is important for the entire Chesapeake gene pool.  With this information we can breed to avoid having affected dogs, and still use a large gene pool to keep genetic diversity.

I love competition and proving myself, so my dogs are also out proving themselves.  I compete in Conformation, Rally, Dock Diving and Hunt Tests. I am interested in other fun things like FCAT, Scent Work and Agility too. I strive for titles in all.  I have a puppy contract that guarantee's hips and eye's, and places puppies with a Limited or Full AKC registration. Puppy Information - check this page out to see what I do with the pups to get them ready to take on the world! I hope you see my commitment to breeding exceptional Chesapeakes and that I take pride in the puppies I produce.

Figaro is my new field dog coming into the breeding program. He has an excellent pedigree and great conformation too.

 

Fig is 8 months old in the picture. He has serious drive, very bold but can be calm in the house.  He should fairly easily earn his AKC CH title when he matures. In the meantime he is in hunt training.

 

Health Clearances: OFA Preliminary Hips & Elbows are pending results.

He has his DNA testing throught the AKC  DNA Program and is CLEAR/NORMAL for all tests. This includes PRA, DM, EIC, ED, CDDY, IVDD, Dilute, Long Coat, plus the 100+ other things they test for.

OFA eyes: normal
