Have been really pleased with the care and dedication to detail Coolwater has shown for the breed in general and more specifically with our pup. Being primarily a waterfowl hunter, I am extremely happy with our Gabby. She's shown great intelligence and drive throughout the training process. Great disposition in the breeding pair. Kerrie and Connie have been a great source of knowledge about the breed. I highly recommend this breeder.

I have owned Chessies since 1989 and CoolWater Chesapeakes exhibit all the great qualities I have come to admire in a hunting retreiver.

Coolwater Haley's Comet "Comet" Chesapeake 11 weeks.
Comet has been perfectly healthy at all vet checks and is a wonderful dog. Great personality, was handled young and is very friendly. She is smart and learning commands quickly. Kerrie from Coolwater does an excellent job!

I purchased my Chesapeake Bay Retriever (Oakley, ~5 months now) from Coolwater Chesapeakes well before the litter was born. From the day I committed to buying a pup, they were very helpful and informative in providing as much information as they possibly could. I am a first time Chessie owner, but have owned other retrievers in the past. They helped point out some of the differences I would see between the Chessie and my retrievers past...and they were right. I was able to use the advice they offered in training the dog from day one, and at five months I have a beautiful and obedient chesapeake that is full of personality. I am absolutely amazed by both the dog's instincts and her ability to learn. She is as loyal as can be and will retrieve until you're ready to stop. That applies to both in and out of water retrieving. This pup LOVES to swim.

I've spent plenty of time talking to the folks at Coolwater Chesapeakes and I've come to know them well. They're great people with a passion for bettering the breed. I definitely look forward to buying another dog from them in the future.

I am the happy owner of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy from CoolWater Chesapeakes. I've owned several Chessies in the past, and after much research, was most most impressed with the quality and care with which Kerrie Tatarka at CoolWater breeds her dogs. The sire and the dam are fabulous examples of the Chesapeake breed at its very best, and all of CoolWater's dogs exemplify the unique combination of strength, intelligence and temperament that highly recommend this breed to anyone looking for a loyal, energetic companion.

They are awesome. We were given the Best match for us, puppy to owner. They go above and beyond when you have questions or concerns because you become extended family. We are thrilled with our boy 'River' and we know they are just as interested in his future as we are.
Thank You 'Coolwater Chesapeakes' you are the BEST!

CoolWater has excellent puppies! They are as smart as they are beautiful puppies. They pick out puppies that will fit into your life perfectly. I was in love my puppy the moment I met him. They have great service and their pups are just a joy!

Connie and Kerrie at cool water were fantastic. They were very friendly and helpful in working with us on getting our new pup. This is our first chess, so they were very honest with us what it would be like owning one and are very patient and helpful in helping us adjust.

It was a pleasure working with them throughout the whole process. They provided tons of info, status on the breeding progress, and lots of pics of the entire family and history on the dogs. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a chessie.

Connie and Kerrie did a fantastic job keeping us up to date on the pups from birth to the day we picked our up. Lots of pictures and lots of information about the litter. We also were very pleased with their diligence in selecting the right pup for the owners. We got exactly what we wanted and that was a pet. We do not plan to breed our guy or show him. We wanted a family pet that would blend in with our older Chessie female. We could not be happier and highly recommend Coolwater Chesapeakes.

I obtained my CoolWater dog, Jesse (Morgan x Nash), 2 years ago and I couldn't be happier with my dog or my experience with Kerrie.

Having owned several other Chesapeakes, Jesse is everything I was looking for - she's healthy with a wonderful temperament; is an outstanding retriever and strong swimmer; has a real desire to please and conformationally she's beautiful. I often get many compliments on her.

Even though it's been two years since I brought Jesse home, Kerrie and I still talk regularly. She is always there to answer my questions and to cheer us on. I couldn't be happier with my dog from Kerrie and with the friendship that has developed. I would highly recommend her and her dogs to anyone.
