In 1919, shortly after the ACC was founded, Vause Foster of Beynon, Alberta stated:

"The Chesapeake Club is, to draw a fine distinction, an organization of sportsmen and not fanciers. The club at present is, and we hope always will be, controlled by duck hunters who judge a dog by his ability and efficiency as a cold-water retriever. We seriously object to the fancy taking up this dog and 'improving' him until he is of no account as a duck retriever. We believe in breeding for working points. We do not desire the enmity of the bench-show men, but we do want them to let our breed alone."

Walter A. Dyer, "The Return of the Chesapeake", Country Life, Aug 1919, p64-72.

“The big Chesapeake showed what a marvelous breed he was by leaping into the freezing water, swimming swiftly to the edge of the ice, then breaking a way for himself, right to the goose. Clutching the big bird proudly in his jaws, he plunged into the icy water, pushed aside the frozen chunks and returned to the blind, entering it with a mighty water-spraying leap. “That’s what I call a dog,” Jake said proudly. And the men agreed.”
—James Michener: Chesapeake: The Watermen, 1972

Riffle and I had a successful day at DeCoverly Kennels English Setters for Retriever Club of Northeast Pennsylvania’s AKC Junior Hunt Test and we earned her first pass. 👻🐕 🇺🇸🦆🐕
Thanks to Saabi Sil Retrievers (Randy and Artie) for the training and help with her.
And special thanks to Judges, Sara and Tom, and all the club’s volunteers for making this test run smoothly.
