“Don’t Buy A Dog From Me” 🐾❤️

*What reputable breeders want you to know*

If you want to buy a dog and walk away, don’t buy one from me.

If you want to pick a puppy because it came to you when you sat down or gave you a cute look, don’t buy one from me.

If you don’t want to take my recommendations on what food to feed or what is best for the health and well being of the dog, after years of experience, don’t buy a dog from me.

If you just want a puppy NOW, because you need it for a Christmas gift or to be a child's toy don’t buy one from me.

If you never plan to update me on how the dog is doing or send a picture once in a while, don’t buy a dog from me.

If you want a dog to live in the backyard, run loose on a farm and never share time in the house with your family, definitely don’t buy a dog from me.

If you want a lawn ornament, you can buy one made of cement or plaster, not much care needed.

However, if you want a puppy that has parents with health testing, that was socialized, loved and made a priority from the day it was born.

A puppy whose temperament and activity level has been carefully chosen to fit your lifestyle.

A puppy selectively and purposefully bred to the standard set forth by our breed club, then maybe you do want to buy a dog from me.

If you want a breeder who will at anytime in the dog’s life take them back, no questions asked.

A breeder who is there 24/7 for you and your dog for questions and concerns and will work hard to help you resolve any issues.

Then you might want to buy a dog from me.

If you want a breeder who loves each puppy/dog with all her heart, considers you part of the family and will laugh or cry with you at any time. Well then we might be a match.

Reputable breeders should never be lumped in with puppy mills, backyard breeders or those who broker dogs.

A reputable breeder will be able to provide health clearances, a five generation pedigree, an explanation as to why they bred the two dogs. While most of the time they will make little or no money. What money they might get is reinvested into the dogs one way or another.

A reputable breeder knows their dogs, and can realistically tell you what to expect and when. They can guide you toward veterinarians, training facilities and products that will benefit your dog.

A reputable breeder will be your friend, a guiding hand and a strong shoulder. So whatever choice you make, make it with the best interest of the dog in mind and if that’s not your plan….. then don’t buy a dog from me.

A very long day but thrilled to announce that Libby - Oakmarsh Freedom, won Best Bitch & the CC today, her first (she already has one RCC) at the National Championship Dog Show, Stafford, beating the current Top Bitch! Superbly handled by her friend Megan.
Tia - Oakmarsh Acorn VW SGWC, was also on super form, winning Best Veteran in Breed, beating the other 2 vet dogs and 2 vet bi***es, all Show Champions and all much younger than herself! Thanks to judge Jenny Miller.
And to complete a super day, the Oakmarsh team (Tia, Fennel & Libby) were 3rd in the KC Breeders Competition, thank you to Caroline and Mark for handling and to judge Lee Cox.
Eiche was a bit scared in the ring, with all the barking dogs, but she got her eyes examined and she's all clear again this year.

Super proud of our homebred girl, Tia, at 11yrs old she is the FIRST Chesapeake Bay Retriever to be awarded the KC Veteran Warrant. A true dual purpose dog, she has 2 CCs and 4 RCCs and is still an active working gundog. Since we have started showing again this year (post Covid), despite her age, she has had multiple Best Veteran in Breed, Group and Show!
We got home from a day out beating to find her certificate from the KC in the post!
