Looking for a reputable CBR kennel/breeder with hunt test or field trail lineage?

There are many "lines" that claim HT and FT lineage. My best suggestion is to look for performance up front in both the sire and the dam and look at the level of HT and FT they are playing.

This past week the Chesapeake Specialty was held in VA. The entry represents some of the best the breed has. Check out entryexpress.com for the list,the results and ownerships of these dogs. Breedings are often planned at Specialties. The owners can also tell who they have agreed to breed and when it might happen.

X2, Craig has had some nice litters and is as good a person to deal with as there is.

Kathy Heintel of Rippling Waters kennels in Florida has put a lot of advanced titles field titles on her dogs and they are good looking, too.

It's Kathy Luthy in Florida -- Rippling Waters -- not Kathy Heintel (she is in Ohio).

Plus one on this.
Also look for "depth" in pedigree.

I'm not sure I would place bets on a dog and it's accomplishments at a specialty because it is not an all breed trial. I've run specialties and they are not like a real, all breed field trial. Sure, you get a lot to look at however, it isn't comparing it against the field which you will be running against day in and day out. I would look to Entry Express and find dogs which are competing against other breeds and succeeding in placing in an all breed category. If, you want a competitive dog you need to look at what is competing. Not a mass located in one place. It takes more work however, work usually pays off.

Look on Entry Express you will find Chessies running. You will see Tim Carrion running. Take his advice. Not many Chessies running field trials or hunt tests.

I don't understand your reply. All those folks who were at the specialty are for the most part the people who run all breed tests as well. I don't field trial, and stick to hunt tests, its always the same lines running in our area. Titles mean trainability. I think if someone were to watch an all breed FT, chances are labs are taking the placements....Look at numbers, probability is much higher.
This is the same as when I competed in coonhunts...The walkers typically won but their entry numbers were staggering vs a redbone so probability tells you who will most likely win...
If someone wants a chessie they need to look at health clearances, pedigree, then go watch those lines that interest them run in whatever game they play..

A friend of mine, David Phillips in Ohio, has a nice Chessie named Gunwale he has been talking about breeding. I can't remember her stats exactly, but she has 20+ master passes with only a few fails. He moved up to field trials this year with her and has 4-5 Jams in Q's and jammed the specialty open. She is a good looking dog with a great disposition as well.

How would I contact Mr. Phillips?

I just came back from the Specialty and this Chessie from Ohio was impressive. She was my favorite Chessie at the Specialty.

You might check out chessie ht/ft network on Facebook. It's pretty new site but eventually should have some good information about competition chessies.
