We pick up a new Chessie pup from Kinkade Hill Chesapeakes last week, and it has been a pleasant process. Dave has kept us well informed from the first day we contacted him. He has always welcomed any questions we had about his pups and the breed. Our new pup “Jessie” has already become a great addition to our family. We would highly recommend Kinkade Hill Chesapeakes to anyone who is looking to add a Chessie to their home.

It has been a year now since I first purchased my chessie from dave. She is a great dog all around. Excellent tempermant with kids, dogs, and anyone who comes in contact with her. She is my hunting companion as well as the family pet. I finished up her training by about 8months. Now I continue to brush her up every now an then. I plan to do a lot of water work with her this summer to get her ready for the upcoming waterfowl season. Remi and I entered a puppy challenge(Chukar challenge) in May this year that was hosted by Wings of Challege. She took 1st place in the flushing divison for retrieving dogs. Again, I am very pleased with Remi and the service Dave provides. Hope one day soon to get another one.

I purchased my pup from Dave in April 1999 and have never looked back since then. He "AKC Gunners Dawn Riley" has never let me down in the field or at home. He is a big blocky Chessie with absolute perfect conformation. I couldnt be happier. Now as the big guy is in the twilight of his life i realize how much he means to me. Thanks for all the memories Dave The big guy still hunts with me all the time but I wont let him in the ice cold water anymore even though his spirit is more than willing. Someday Im going to want another kinkade Chesapeake. I hope you can help me out but I hope that day is still a ways off.

About a year and a half ago we found out that our dog Dixie was sick. We got Dixie from Mr. Bray and called him to see if her illness was common in the Chesapeake breed. Dave was very helpful, returned our calls, and even remembered who we were even though we got Dixie from him 8 years earlier. This past January we had to say goodbye to Dixie and called Mr. Bray to tell him the sad news. Being a "Chessie" lover he was saddened to hear this news. He was very personal, pleasant, caring breeder and talked of Dixie's family with great fondness. We recently got another dog from Mr. Bray, we call him Buxton, and we are confident that once again we have another wonderful dog that is extremely loyal, friendly, and a tremendous hunting dog. We would strongly recommend Mr. Bray "Kinkade Chesapeakes" for anyone who wants a dog that anyone would envy!

It has been just over 2 weeks since I picked up my new chessie. The whole experience with Dave was very professional as well as personable and friendly. My daughter and Mr. Bray conspired to set the pup up as a Christmas present for me after having to put my previous chessie down after 10 years in October 2008 (not a Kinkade dog). I waited this long to comment so I could give you an accurate, less emotional account of the experience. The the sire and dam are beautiful even tempered chessies and it was difficult for my wife and I to select a pup, as they were all very healthy and outgoing. The dam displayed NO aggression as we examined her puppies. I believe Kinkade Chesapeakes are an exceptional value for the money and Dave is a caring and knowledgable breeder. I would recommend Kinkade Chesapeakes to anyone looking for an exceptional chessie. Thanks Dave!

Throughout the entire puppy buying process Dave was very informative and knowledgeable on Chesapeakes. I am a first time retriever owner, and Dave has been very helpful with training, housebreaking, and socializing tips for the pup, and making sure I was prepared for this full time commitment. He kept me up to date weekly with phone calls and emails, letting me know how 'mama dog' and her litter were progressing. For a first time retriever owner I could not have asked for a better experience, and I am very eager to see this boy in the field after watching his father easily handle retrieves in Dave's backyard!

Our experience with Dave has been "Top Notch"! He was very informative on the breed and overall Dawgie knowledge. He kept us informed on the progress of the litter, and helped with the final decision making on our "1st Pick" female and after having her just a short time, I know we have a winner!!! Her parents temperment is AWSOME and very nice looking dawgs (and it shows in thier litter). If you are looking for a life long companion of a Chessie, then you have to visit Daves kennel and see his dawgs in action. best Wishes Dave and you'll be seeing us in the Hunt Tests! >>>~~~Chris & Mike~~>

We purchased a dead grass male pup from Dave and we have been very pleased with Brigg's temperment as well as conformation. We have raised chessies for 20 years and this big guy seems to be growing into a handsome pup. Our contact with Dave in purchasing Brigg was a good experience. He regularly sent us pictures of our puppy, suggesting the puppy he felt fit our situation. In purchasing our puppy I felt confident, after talking to Dave, that he was quite knowledgable about the Chessie and his breeding. Thanks Dave The McQueens

My experience with Kinkade Chesapeakes has been a good one. I purchased a 8 week old Chesapeake retriever who I named Remi. Right from the beginning he was upfront and answered all my questions and was very helpful. He also kept me informed during the whole process. He sent pics, emails, and telephoned me to keep me updated before and after the pups were born. I couldn't be more pleased with the pup as well as the service I received. I also felt that his prices are very reasonalbe. Training is going pretty good. From day one she went right into water. Training her now to sit, come, and fetch. She does well and as expected for a 8 week old pup. Overall I am pleased with my experience and would recommend him if you should choose to buy a Chessie.

I bought a Chesie 8 1/2years ago from David..Even though I did not hunt him and cannot testify to hunting ability, for a wonderful family dog and companion you cant go wrong... Health was perfect, never needed a vet expect for when he swallowing a ball. Great with kids, and protective me.. I would purchase another Chesie before a Lab any day, and currently looking to do just that...
