Thank you for looking at our puppies! We think this is the BEST litter money can buy right here in VA born Jan. 2. Parents are correct, outstanding representatives of their breed.  For hunting, hunt tests or field trials, proven parents: best litter available on this website right now. Dual Champion, Field &Amateur Field Ch., Hunt test titles, proven hunters, we've helped 7 generations of Chesapeakes find the perfect person. Oh and these should be nice enough to show, too. 

***NEWS FLASH*** 10 Puppies born Jan. 2, 4F 6M and YES we have ASH! Girls pictured below

 Watch for more photos, coming soon!

We just had a female become available due to a cancellation, and have 2 very nice males for sale. All shades of brown, deadgrass and RARE ASH. We prefer working homes for these puppies.

We apologize about only one puppy pic. so far, camera kind of died! Check back shortly but meanwhile, see below: preview!! This truck dog photo are half siblings to newborns born a year ago; references available, these were fantastic pups and the little pups above should be similar colored, even nicer!  Pretty enough to be show dogs with their broad heads and small ears, wonderful coats and expressive eyes, these pups are all proving to be very intelligent, bird crazy students at 11 months.

Looks, brains, drive, substance and colors plus wonderful easy going temperaments: This litter has it all. Both parents are proven producers, and this is a line breeding on Chestnut Hills Ironwood Oak MH***. The sire is Tugboat Woods Colt MH WDQ, an extremely handsome, heavily coated light deadgrass dog with a gorgeous head and pretty little show dog ears. Dam is Hope Springs Rufsail JH**, a muscular, athletic brown female with incredible bottom and drive. She is a daughter of DC AFC Sunday's Rufwater Canvasback MH out of CH Puffin II JH CD WDX. She's in the center of the photo below next to her dam Puffin (left) and daughter Panda (ash pup on right).

Below, 3 Generations of Excellence: Dam of litter, Hope Springs Rufsail JH**WDX with her famous dual champion sire and grandsire at the ACC Field Trial Specialty in 2005. From L: Jib, Scott Martin, DC AFC Sunday's Rufwater Canvasback MH and DC AFC Gambler's Dilwyn Stacked Deck MH.

Below, two photos of Colt. He was campaigned very lightly and trained/run exclusively by a gentleman in his late 80s to earn his AKC Senior and Master hunter titles. He's a fast, athletic dog with outstanding marking ability.
