Introducing at stud: Outstanding young ash male Chesapeake                                       

Here is the total package for those of you that want to add a little something different to your breeding program! Usher is a gorgeous well coated silvery ash 4 year old male. He spent the last two years hunting in Colorado, also running a few hunt tests and earning his JH. He's currently in Virginia, but will spend the fall/winter in Mississippi. There, he'll run in SH and MH as well as HRC. AKC registered, UKC registration pending.

Hope Springs Hush Hush JH aka Usher (Southern Md's Dances with Wolves**MH WDQ x CH Puffin II JH CD WDX) is from a productive field line of Chesapeakes, blending the blood of the #1 field sire Dual Champion AFC Gambler's Dilwyn Stacked Deck MH out of a daughter of Chestnut Hills Ironwood Oak***MH that is herself a titled bench champion and producer. From a test breeding that just turned 2 he has a Derby placed daughter and a son that's nearly completed his Senior Hunter title.   Some of the puppies from his first litter out of a brown bitch are pictured below:   

Usher is OFA Good/normal elbows/recent clear CERF, PRA clear by parentage (both parents Optigen tested) and DM clear N/N. He is good sized, a trim 86 lbs. and stands 26" at the shoulders with very correct conformation: well angulated with a broad head, large kind bright yellow eyes, correct stop and proper scissor bite. Best of all, Usher has an outstanding disposition around all people and other dogs, including other males, puppies and small yappy dogs. He's an easy going house dog but turns on the afterburners in the field, a fast and stylish retriever with a gentle soft mouth, very biddable and willing to please and throws these qualities in his puppies. He has a litter sister HRCH Hope Springs Dowry SH that lacks just one pass for her MH.  Below, from left: his dam CH Puffin II JH CD WDX, daughter Hope Springs Double Puff**, aunt Tugboat Woods Patina WD with Usher on right.                          

Special consideration given to titled females. Only females with a minimum of OFA numbers on hips/elbows and current negative brucellosis test, please. Available for live cover and/or AI via fresh/frozen shipped semen. Pedigree/more photos available on request.
