I know breeder questions get asked here almost to death but oh well. I am starting to get the itch To train a new pup. After doing the whole over the phone have the puppy put on a plane thing last time I have vowed never agian. Dont get me wrong she is a great hunting dog all the drive in the world and I love her to death. But she has many health issues and I really come the to conclusion that you need to shake hand with the breeder and make sure your dogs comming from a loving enviroment. So now after training a few labs I want to make the switch over to a chessie. I have Always wanted one and I think me and my home are ready. Now the hard task finding a good honest breeder close to home. So if anyone knows any good chesapeake breeders close to southern PA are MD that they would recommend that would be great. Thats for reading my long rant to ask a simple question.

Wouldn't RTF'er Julie R be close to you?

X2 very knowledgable when it comes to the Chessies, she definitely schooled me when I was on the fence of either getting another lab or changing to chessies. I have no doubt in my mind she at the very least can give you solid recomendations on litters/breeders.

Julie Reardon's site is http://www.gundogbreeders.com/breeders-virginia/hope-springs-farm.html. Dyane Baldwin and the Shaws are also excellent breeders. You might also want to check Chessie Pups on RTF, the American Chesapeake Club website: http://www.amchessieclub.org/
Team Chesapeake: http://www.teamchesapeake.com/ and Chessie Info http://www.chessieinfo.net/. If I can help in any way, just send me an email at blurdgches@verizon.net. We've had Chesapeakes for nearly 45 years and are still learning. It is a great breed!

I second pond hollow or black water Chesapeakes. Both excellent breeders and all dogs have health clearances.

Jeff & Joyce Shaw. They've got a young QAA bitch named Stevie (Blackwaters Double Trouble). Imagine she'll have a litter before too long.

I would give a thumbs up to the Shaws in New Jersey and Wendy Chishom of Westwind Kennels in Maine they both have puppies coming and available. Want field trial chessies look no further if you want close distance.

Julie R. has been a tremendous resource for me and I would enthusiastically recomend Hope Springs Chesapeakes. She was not technically the breeder of my dog (owns the sire) but she referred me to the litter when hers did not happen as planned. We've kept in touch along the way and if it wasn't for her I'm not sure I would have gotten into the dog games. If there's a more knowledgeable Chesapeake person out there I haven't met them.

Well you need to go to the field trial specialty 2013 and introduce yourself to me.

Close to Southern PA and Maryland there are many Chesapeake owners that have Bred a litter. Breeding a litter= being a breeder- yes, no, maybe so.
Not knowing your exact location and distance you want to be located from the breeder you choose, take up Pat Puwal on her offer, chat with her to narrow down what you are looking for.
The Shaws in New Jersey, as stated by others, might be a great place to start, I know that is not PA or MD. Jersey is closer than you think.

They look like members of murder incorporated.

You can not go wrong with Pond Hollow. I currently have a 4 year old female from Dyane and she earned her Master Hunter at age 3. She is a great family and hunting dog. If you want to drive a little further check out Treasure Lake Chesapeakes. I have a 1 year old JH pup from Kathy.
