Our life with chesapeakes started in January of 2001. We picked up CH Rainyvali Coolwater Jewel CD JH CGC WD, aka Callie and we were never the same. Our life lives and breathes chesapeakes and all that entails caring and loving these wonderful dogs.

I began my dog show career when Callie was 6 months old. I never looked back. But our life did not just stop at showing. We started hunt tests, obedience/rally as well as Dock Dog Jumping and all that goes into having fun with our dogs.

We live in Cle Elum, WA on 20 acres with a slew of animals, not just dogs. Horses, cats, chickens and all the wildlife that surrounds us. It’s a great place to live and play with the dogs.

We have been breeding since 2005. Our line has great lines behind it. In our pedigrees you will see some well established chesapeake lines that are tried and true. Pedigrees can be viewed on the
Pedigree page.

Visitation of the dogs is always available. When we have puppies, visitation is only available after they are 5 weeks of age. I allow the puppies to go to their new homes as soon as 9 weeks of age.


We sell our puppies on a contract. Our dogs have all their health clearances and we guarantee our puppies based on these health clearances. If you are interested in a puppy we can supply you with a copy of our contract to look over.
