The struggle is real...
We are planning on being at the International Sportsmans Expo in Salt Lake City on March 21-24th! So come see us if you can!
We were asked to do a quick commercial [for the expo] and thought it would be fun to add these kids to help liven it up. And it's always a hoot to film them! Please enjoy!
đŸHappy October!!đŸ
We always try our best to match you up with your ideal puppy or dogâso if you reach out to us, we usually end up asking YOU questions on what youâre looking for and if one of our dogs or puppies would be a good fit.
1. Understanding the Lab or Chesapeake
Oftentimes we have people reaching out just wanting a puppy and ask what is available. We usually follow up with a question instead of just listing what puppies we have (if we have some). Because the last thing we want is for you to go home with an extremely active dog when all you wanted was a lap dog. We specialize in field labs and Chessies (some are more mellow and some are more active, but they are all generally very trainable and athletic.) And we love discovering if one of our dogs would be a good fit for you and your family.
2. Pick the litter (pedigree, personality, health clearances), not the puppy
First and foremost, you need to know what personality or pedigree youâre looking forâthen we can match you up with the right litter for you! Are you looking for mellow or energetic? A future gundog or a dog that will work best in the house with your kids? Or a mix of both? After we find your litter, then you can choose which puppy you want from that litterâitâs MUCH easier and more successful for you. Health is also extremely important, especially for working dogs, so getting a dog from health tested parents (and our pups come with a health guarantee) helps you feel better about your new family member.
3. You donât always have to get an 8 week old puppy
The puppy stage may not be for you. I know that for so many, the puppy stage is the time to bond and grow togetherâbut guess what! You can bond and become the best owner to an older puppy or dog too! We, and so many others, have started programs where we train older puppies and dogs for those of you who do not want to deal with the potty training or initial training or even want a dog that has completed a training
That's not too much to ask right??
I seriously can't handle how adorable these puppies are! So if you've been dreaming of or planning on getting a puppy soon, reach out! We have adorable yellow and chocolate labs that are going to make the best family dogs.

Over the course of the summer, we were able to take training dogs and puppies to the creek a lot! It's so fun to watch them learn about the water and get to have a fun water day! Our nice days are almost at an end here at our Montana kennel, so we are trying to soak it up as much as we can!

We both get dizzy! So we didn't quite make it two times around, but I wanted to show how adorable these puppies are! I love that labs and chessies make such amazing family dogs. They love adventures and just being with their people.

Pro-tip: getting a dog or puppy tires them both out!
My kids usually sleep awesome every night because they played hard with the dogs and puppies all day.
You can enjoy this perk too! haha Just reach out and we'll set you up!

The answer is DOG! I feel like this is the motto for my life--anyone else?? Dogs just make people happy and we love them and we know you love them. We hope you have a great day and get to love on your dog.

đŸIt never gets old đŸ
I can watch a dog work all dayâit seriously is the best. I love when they understand and put it together and enjoy themselves!
These dogs have so much potentialâand if youâve ever wanted to know how your dog would do in training or how far they can go, let us know! We offer free training evaluations. We love meeting new dogs and meeting you of course!

Kids are the best puppy trainers!
I truly think that having our puppies raised around kids helps them SO much! My kids stick their fingers in their mouths, cuddle them, push them to be brave, help them to respect people of all ages and sizes, and we can help the puppies develop good habits (because I don't want my kids to be worries about a puppy jumping or biting them).
We love watching our kids grow up with puppies, I don't know if there is a better combo!

đŸBuilding desire to retrieveđŸAll our puppies have the pedigree to be a gundogâbut it is crucial to give them their best chance when you are training them to be a gundog. Starting good habits young works WONDERS for a dog that starts formal (or any) training as they get older. So as trainers we encourage you to not be afraid to retrieve with your young puppy. So a few tips are:-Make it fun! -Stop before they are ready, so that it becomes something they look forward to! -And definitely donât just throw one thingâmix it up, get a few different bumpers, and donât just use a tennis ball or something. It will be that much easier for them to grow into the hunting dog you are wanting (and expecting) them to be. .....#puppy #labpuppy #yellowlab #chocolatelab #puppytraining #sunshine #labradorretriever #dogtraining #chesapeakebayretriever #retrieving
đŸThe moments between the rain đđŸWeâve had a fun influx of puppy training and had some spring puppy litters that are just SO cute! Itâs been a wet, fun last couple months!

đŸWhere are all my Chesapeake lovers at??đŸChesapeake Bay Retrievers are gorgeous, smart, loving, active and loyal dogs. Most people we talk to that have had Chesapeakes in the before never go back to any other breed. They are amazing hunting companions and loving family pets, not to mention can have some of the coolest coloring. (I mean look at this baby girls face! So cute.)And yetâŠwe talk to so many people that either donât know about them, or arenât open to getting one. SOâletâs hear about those that have or had a Chesapeake they love(d) in the comments below! âŹïžâŹïž......#Chesapeakes #chesapeakebayretriever #dogtraining #birddog #chesapeakepuppy

đŸLove waking up to thisđŸ. Last year we had almost a full month straight of heavy fog every morning! Itâs amazing how itâs like a different world and we are on our own little island of land.

đŸWhat name did you finally settle on?? I need help!đŸSend me all your dog names! (Especially boys). I have a chocolate lab in need of a good name â„ïž We have met so many amazing dogs over the years, so I always feel like I am super particular. Did any of you feel this struggle to name your new puppies?? Some of our rules to follow when naming new dogs are: - does it sound like a command? (Ex. âSitâ so normally âsâ names are hard because your dog may think your trying to get them to sit when you say their name). - Generally one or 2 syllables is perfect (though I have some longer names I also adore) - Having a super common name can be hard sometimes if you are around other dogs often, because your dog may not be the only one to respond to their name đ
