CoolWater Chesapeakes

  Jessie is a beautiful sedge (red) color. She's at the lower end of the standard at about 22" to the shoulder and 55 lbs. However, don't let her small size fool you. This girl is filled with fire and is a retrieving fiend. 

To know Jessie is to love Jessie -- that's what everyone says. She is happy-go-lucky, takes everything in stride and is happiest when working in the field but she adapts well to homelife. 

Her willingness to please and eagerness to learn makes her fun to train -- a little praise does wonders and really keeps her up, up, up.  She's a busy dog that often needs a job to do.  She's very inquisitive and if you don't have a job for her, she will often find one on her own.

Jessie loves to talk, and although she doesn't 'roo' as many Chessie do, she does smile and will often give a full-Chessie grin when she's happy to see you.

Jessie obtained her AKC Junior Hunter (JH) and UKC Started Hunting Retriever (SHR) titles with qualifying passes each time she ran -- all within a two month span and with very limited training. Currently, she's training for her AKC Senior Hunter (SH) and AKC Master Hunter (MH) titles.   

In 2007, Jessie obtained her AKC Obedience Companion Dog (CD) title. She is now working towards her AKC Obedience Companion Dog Excellence (CDX) title.

In 2008, Jessie was bred with CH Pondhollow BroadWater Bear SH. This breeding resulted in two puppies - a male (Risk, which we kept) and a female (Noelle, who lives with LongCove Chesapeakes in GA). Sadly, after her litter, Jessie developed pyometra and had to be spayed. That's ok because we love her anyways.

I once mentioned to a good friend, a field trainer, "if I ever get another dog like Jessie..." He paused, looked at me and said "There will never be another dog like Jessie. Jessie is special."   I tend to agree. I doubt I'll ever have another like her.
