Gundog

Tia (Oakmarsh Acorn) retrieving a pheasant.
Originally bred as a wildfowling dog, the Chesapeake will retrieve a variety of game species.

Showdog

Fennel (Oakmarsh Chestnut), 1st in her Class at both Crufts 2017 and Crufts 2010.
The Chesapeake is one of only a few breeds that stay true to their working purpose, yet the same dogs can also be shown, rather than the work/show split in breeds like Labradors. Truly form meets function.

Scootering - UCSC Races 2019

Chessies love to run! What better way to keep them fit than to train them to run / bike / scooter with you .

Working Trials

Tia (Oakmarsh Acorn) demonstrates how she tackles the Scale in Working Trials. Groynes on the beach are a great place to train due to the soft landing.

Agility

Although not the most nimble of breeds, Chessies are more than capable of agility.

At home

Early obedience training is important, due to the Chesapeakes inquisitive mind and boundless energy.

Chesapeakes LOVE water!
