Our new chessie.
This past Saturday, my wife and I made a trip a little trip up in the mountians of NC to check out a litter of Chesapeake Bay Retriever pups. It was my wife who suggested we get a chessie. I am first and foremost a lab man, I love everything about a lab, but she wanted a chessie for her to run in hunt tests. So with her birthday being last Tuesday, I decided this may be good gift. My only stipulation was it had to be a male, I didn’t want any more heat cycles to keep track of, especially since this was going to be “her” dog. So we got to the breeder’s home and we spent some time with all three of the males. I threw a canvas puppy bumper for each one a few times. When I threw it for the last of the three, that dog took off, grabbed the bumper up and came right back to me. We did this one or two more times and he was as perfect as can be each time. I think we both knew which dog we were bringing home. So here is Gator, our 11 week old Chessie.
