Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes - North Carolina Chesapeake Bay Retriever Breeders

Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes set the standard for excellence in temperament.

We are very active with our dogs showing them in multiple venues from Conformation, to Agility, Obedience, Hunt tests, and other performance venues.

We show our dogs in conformation to prove that our dogs follow the breed standard. All of our personal breeding dogs are shown to their Champion title (CH). We feel that to breed a dog, it needs to LOOK like what the breed standard states the dog should look like. We feel that a Chesapeake should not only be able to "get the job done" but it should LOOK GOOD while doing it!

We trial our dogs in performance venues such as Rally Obedience and Traditional Obedience to prove that they have high levels of learning ability.

Agility is a challenging venue that we enjoy participating in. Agility trials in my area have about a 20% pass rate.

Our dogs are high drive retrievers that make excellent family companions. We sell several pups a litter to people who are interested in hunting companions and to people who compete in AKC and UKC Hunt Tests. Most of the dogs that go to competitive hunting homes are all AMATEUR owned and trained...NO "pro" trainers needed with these pups! Whiskey Creek has several pups that are testing at the Master Hunter level!

Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes are exceptional family companions. Although we sell a lot of puppies to owners looking for a hunting partner or a show/performance dog, many of our dogs go to people looking to add a steadfast loyal "companion" to their family.

At Whiskey Creek we plan breedings with the idea of "improving the breed" not just to breed another litter of puppies. We research pedigrees, health issues and clearances, conformation strong points as well as faults, performance of the sire and the dam as well as any puppies from previous litters to make sure that we are breeding a litter that meets our high standards. When we do a breeding, it is our intention to keep a pup from the breeding. We NEVER "repeat breedings" as we feel that weakens our small gene pool and lessens the "value" of our dogs.

Visit the other kennels in the South East and see what makes Whiskey Creek stand out from the rest. No other breeding kennel is as active in as many venues as what Whiskey Creek Chesaepakes compete in. A strong knowledge of the breed, dedication to improving the breed, and dogs that not only look good, but are functional as well!

A dog has a name.
A "good" dog has a title at one end of his name.

A "great" dog has multiple titles at BOTH ends of his name!

I have known Kathy for years through obedience and agility and when it came time for us to get a Chessie puppy, I knew immediately that Kathy would be the breeder for us.
I have met all of her dogs and I really had a hard time picking the breeding to go with because they are all so great with respect to performance ability, confirmation and socialization. Our puppy was born this July (Brier x Freezer). He is very well socialized and a star in the performance puppy obedience class. He is performing exercises at the Utility Dog level at 5 months old even better than the older dogs in his group. No wonder since Kathy exposes all the puppies to multiple adult dogs from her home, gun shot, bird wings, swimming at the lake and visitors of all ages. He is also a joy to have in the house and gets along perfectly with our older Chesapeake and Brittany. I will overwhelmingly recommend Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes to anyone looking for a performance dog that also is a sweet family companion as well.

After the first two seaons of waterfowl hunting with Sere in 2011, I could not be more thrilled with his performance. He takes waterfowling to a whole new level of excitement and enjoyment for me. Sere is the first dog I have ever raised and trained to be a waterfowl retriever, and I made some big mistakes through the training process I thought I would never recover from. If it were not for his disposition, personality, strong desire to please, and personal attention by Kathy in the first seven weeks of his life, he probably would not have come through to be what he is in the boat and blind in just his second year. With Kathy's help, I was able to get Sere his junior hunter title, and every event and hunting trip he just gets better. It all starts with good breeding, socialization, and selection of the dog for the right person, which Kathy knows very well. Sere is my and my wife's best friend, is a loyal and loving dog, with the courage and tenacity of none other I have heard of except in DU magazine. He launches himself into action at my send and does the job on doubles and blinds better than any dog I have hunted with. I owe Kathy a great deal of thanks for understanding what I needed in a Chessie and delivering it perfectly. When the time comes for another dog for my family, it will come from Kathy.

Kathy Case had seen pics of my boy Chaamp from a hunt test in NC that I was entered in. A friend of hers had met Chaamp and myself and told Kathy about us. A short time later Kathy called me to discuss using him as a possible stud dog. She drove over 10 hours to meet us. A couple of weeks went by and she called me back and said she would like to use him for stud service. She then asked if he had been shown, I answered no htat that was out of my league. She offered to show him with no strings attached and no costs other than entry fees. Wow, She showed him to a championship title in 4 weekends. Kathy and I have since become rather close. She has really educated me about health issues of Chessies. I was really impressed w/Reid-the bitch she wants to breed to. I feel that Kathy does a fantastic job in promoting the breed and keeping the breed standards up. I do not hesitate to recommend her.

Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes has delivered on every level! Having been a professional trainer for 15 years, I looked for a breeder that produced all around working dogs with a focus on temperament, structure, and bloodlines and found just that in Kathy Case. Our boy Red, now almost two years old, is not only a great performance prospect (training/showing in Obedience, Hunt Tests, Tracking, Conformation, and Nosework), but an amazingly loyal and reliable family and hunting companion.

As a professional, however, the most important thing that stounds out about Red is the truly solid temperament that comes only from good breeding and early socialization. Red assists me regularly in my full time job of rehabilitating dogs with fear, reactivity, and aggression issues... for an adolescent intact male to be comfortable with this work is remarkable and speaks volumes to his temperament. I can't thank Kathy Case enough for breeding so responsibly and would recommend Whiskey Creek to anyone seriously interested in all around, versatile, and well tempered Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.

After poring over websites of Cheesie breeders within 500 miles, I felt that Whiskey Creek's chessies were by far the best looking dogs that I had seen. It was obvious, talking to Kathy, that she knows her stuff about the breed and she loves her dogs.

Kathy was so interesting and fun to talk to and is just a great person to deal with. I spoke with her a few times by phone and was able to spend time with her and the pups a few weeks before they were ready for "adoption." Kathy loves her dogs so much that an adoption process is pretty much what a buyer goes through.

My boy Reuben, from Kathy's dog Willow, is my fifth Chessie and is by far the smartest dog of any breed that I have ever owned. I owned and hunted several pointers and setters and had many pets of various breeds but this is the most intelligent dog that I have had. Although purchased as simply a good family companion, I have no doubts that my boy would make a great gun dog or agility trial dog. He never stops amazing me!

Kathy continues to check in and is available for help 18 months after I've purchased my dog. I only hope that she'll stay in the Chessie breeding business for the rest of my life, as I've found the breeder that I would like to deal with from now on.

I cannot begin to describe how pleased I have been with my Chessie, Tiller, from Kathy at Whiskey Creek. Her temperament and retrieving desire is unparalleled. Tiller has developed into a loyal companion and great field dog. She is great around other people and dogs including small children. Kathy has worked hard on her group and it shows in the dogs. I would highly recommend Whiskey Creek.

Whiskey Creek Chesapeake’s was the answer I needed when looking for a CBR. When I decided to start looking for a breeder, I found that Kathy Case. She was only 30 minutes away. Upon meeting with her, we quickly developed a great relationship. Her knowledge of the breed, and devotion to her dogs were quickly realized. My search was over. We brought Duke several weeks later.

Duke was born on 3/11/09 and was of Smoking Scout MH x Oak Hill Stormy Monday

I had never raised a puppy. Kathy new this, and recommended a vet, a diet, and that we attend puppy school as soon as possible. We have followed her directions to the letter. WOW!!!!! This is the best dog ever.

Duke gets compliments everywhere I take him. He has the most classic lines, and the most beautiful coat. He exemplifies everything that is the breed of a Chessie. Duke is always bright and happy. He shows tons of courage. His alertness and intelligence are remarkable. He loves the water. He is great as a family dog. He protects my wife, and makes me feel very safe at night.

Duke was also meant to hunt. I trained him myself. I used a book Kathy gave me. This dog soaked up every bit of training I threw at him and sill yearns for more. I have seen him do the most amazing things in the water. His first hunt trial taught me a lot about him. I hope to have his Junior Hunt title by the summer. He is all business when it comes to retrieving, and takes it very seriously. He wants to please.

On top of retrieving, he can also track, and locate things such as wounded game, or people. He is in training to locate truffles. I also take him to a local assisted living house to cheer up patients

Just on more thing. Duke is me and my wife’s best friend. Thank you Kathy.

I have owned Whiskey Creek's Sere Du Chasse, aka "Sear," for almost a year now. This year was his first season waterfowl hunting, and the dog has performed far beyond my expectations. I researched every possible resource I could find, and ventured to train Sear myself since I brought him home in January this year. He is the first dog I have ever trained, and the experience has bonded us as hunters and family like no other dog I have owned. He is the most loyal dog with the strongest desire to please I have ever known. The idea that Chessies are hard headed is a myth as far as I'm concerned... they have a strong desire to please, and the discerning trainer (that I am learning to become) will quickly find how easy and fun it is to train a Chessie from Whiskey Creek. For me, I could not have done any of this without Kathy Case, who has been with me every step of the way. When I had questions, ideas, or just needed to share my training experiences, she was there to help. She has a strong love for the dogs and an equally strong desire to help new owners succeed in all they want from their new family member. What Kathy helped me with was far more than a hunting dog that retrieves my occasional mallard, wood duck, or Canada goose. What I got was a lot more... a lifetime friend that would follow my every step for a chance to make me happy with a retrieve. I got more than just a dog from Whiskey Creek. I got a devoted breeder with a life long commitment to a fulfilling relationship between Sear and I. I wouldn't trade that for anything! Thanks Kathy! I hope you make many more Chessie owners as happy as you have made our family.

I DID NOT buy a puppy from Kathy Case but I sure wanted to! Unfortunately for us Kathy did not have puppies available when we were ready but, she still went the extra mile for us. First, she screened us to be sure we were going to be a good Chessie family...I think this demonstrates her amazing commitment to the breed.

Kathy spent hours on the phone and in emails counseling mus and helping us to find just the right pup. She taught us how to look at pedigrees and helped us understand about health clearances and how to ask questions that would eventually lead us to the perfect puppy!

Kathy is truly a knowledgable, responsible and honest advocate for the breed. We are so grateful for her assistance and continued support.

Anyone who ends up with a Whiskey Creek pup, or finds themselves in the counsel of Kathy - will be fortunate indeed.

Kathy is an awesome breeder and wonderful person alike! My husband and I have nothing but positive remarks in reference to Kathy and her Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes! We purchased Whiskey Creek's Carolina Lincoln (Lincoln) about two years ago and since he has been a great dog. Lincoln is extremely smart and an excellent retriever. In addition, we constantly get complements on his handsome looks, which is not surprising since Walker is his father! We could not imagine life without Lincoln. Additionally, we would like to thank Kathy for her dedication to this breed and continued efforts to produce quality Chesapeakes!
