About Cedar Ridge Chessies

Five years ago we moved into a new home and were excited about the prospect of getting a furry friend. We did our homework about dog breeds and looked at a lot of pictures, and our hearts landed on the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Especially the Chessie puppies with those crystal blue eyes! How could anyone resist?

It took a few years for our dream to come true, but it finally did when Ziba came into our lives. Little did we know how fast she would steal our hearts with her love for cuddles and her Chessie swagger when she walks.

We're Nick and Virginia and we love Chessies! We love them so much that we want to fill the hearts and homes of others with this noble, lovable breed. Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are bred to be waterfowl hunting dogs. They are energetic, smart and loyal. They can have a mind of their own, but they are still very trainable and incredibly affectionate!

If you are looking for a family dog to enjoy outdoor sporting and adventuring with who will watch over your home, look no further!
