The Story of Rusty Water Dogs

We were introduced first hand to the Chesapeake in 2002. We happenned to be volunteering at our local animal shelter when a big and beefy (and starving) Chessie named Rusty was admitted. He was extremely sweet and loving but had a hard life with a small local breeder here in Montana. He had many issues associated with his previous abuse such as an aversion to children and older men. He also had a fierce protective streak and had to be handled kindly or he would get very scared (he was actually so scared at the shelter he was starving himself).

Veronica was a little less than enthusiastic that Kevin had brought home the rough furred dog but thought he would be good for Kevin. Rusty had some flaws but Kevin fell in love with him immediatly. Kevin nurtured Rusty's broken heart and they became inseperable. Unfortunately the friendship was cut a bit short when Rusty was diagnosed with epilepsy. A good friend was lost.

We currently have one breeding pair of Chesapeake Bay Retrivers but we hope to expand in the future. We have owned Chessies for almost 8 years now. We had talked about breeding for sometime but wanted to wait until we found a good pair to breed (it took us 4 years to find the pedegrees we wanted).

Montana's Rusty Water Dogs strive to produce strong and intelligent dogs that will not only perform in the field but will also be great family pets. All our puppies have been raised in our home with us and our infant daughter. They are well sociallized and introduced to feathers at the age of 5 weeks.
