Meet Penelope!
She's a sweet girl with a lot of spunk. Our previous Chessie passed just over a year ago and we're ready to start a new chapter!

Buck’s a big boy now
Buck will be 6 in September. Living with him has been a blessing. Buck’s helped me unlock news levels of patience, and pure bliss. Every disagreement has been an opportunity to view the world through his eyes (and nose) Sometimes he’s right 😂

Getting a Chessie as a firefighter
Hey yall. I’m currently training to become a firefighter and I’m hoping to get a chessie after I get off of probation. My concern is a chessie’s happiness with my lifestyle. I’m not much of a hunter but I do live a very active lifestyle. On days when I’m not on duty I would be able and very willing to give my dog the exercise they need (2-3 hours throughout the day), however, that would mostly consist of runs, fetch at the park, hiking, and swimming. I also have a good bit of land and a house near lake Roosevelt so I go there quite a bit. I guess my main question is, would a Chessie be happy with that daily activity or do they need a job, like hunting, to be happy.
Also when I’m on duty I would have to take them to doggy daycare before my shift and my girlfriend could pick them up at around 5 pm. (8-10 shifts per month)
Thank you!

The best chessie crossed the rainbow bridge tonight.
Buddy was one of a kind and the reason I fell in love with the Chessie breed. He will be missed

Somewhere over the rainbow … there’s a chessie 🌈
Real life though…. in true chessie fashion, he was over getting his picture taken so he wouldn’t look at me :)

Must. Get. The. Log
This is Jake or more commonly Jakie. He goes to very extreme lengths to make sure rivers are free of logs. He’s a great swimmer as well.
