Well finally a long time goal and dream has come together
Just a pure coincidence or what
I was chit chatting with an old friend (Brian West)
He mentioned he had a pup I might be interested in
Turns out he was rt
A grt grt grand daughter of my old Chessie that passed on 20 yrs ago
The last of her blood line
I couldn't refuse
And couldn't be more happy about this one
Now the adventure and the journey begins

Great looking pup. Brian breeds some nice Chesspeakes.
His Ida is going to be a star...

She's a beautiful Pup, man!
Kinda puts a tear in the eye thinking of the lineage, and your opportunity to have her!
Imagine, even though she is her own, may not help bit see some of great great grand parent in her. So happy for you
Edit: i had to edit "eye" from "ear" lol darn spell check

well was out doing some goose hunting the other day about 15 minutes from the house
so it got slow so decided to run back to the house and bring the pup out
my grandson was helping me with some of the drills to work her on and we had been going through different drills amongst the decoys
so he mentioned it would be cool if just one single goose would come in
just to see what the pup would
well as luck would have it about 1/2 hr later in comes this solo juvenile snow goose, so I told my grandson grab his shootsgun in case it comes within range
well luck was with us
my grandson made a perfect shot the goose landed with a thud about 40 yards out
all the while the pup was sitting at my side with her eyes glued on the bird
all it took was me to say fetch
she was off like a bullet
brought the goose directly back to hand
like an old pro ( Friday was her 5month old birthday)
well a lot of praise and later and we put the goose under a decoy but that kinda was to much distraction to do any more dummy training with her
so we called it an exceptional lucky day and called it quits for the morning
it was time to go for lunch and let her settle down on a good note
since then her training has come leaps and bounds she is so intense about her training
I'm pretty lucky guy to have acquired such an awesome pup
very proud and thankful to have her
if any you could send pointers on training I'm all ears(well in this case I'm all eyes on reading them )
any and all tips are welcome

Love it! Not many retriever breeds could handle a goose at 5 months!! Love the Chessie power! I cannot wait to get another Chessie when my youngest son gets a bit older. Absolutely amazing retrievers.

Had to give up my chessy a few years ago as my son developed allergies. Miss that dog and that breed. Such hard workers and just want to go all day.
Best of luck with your Chessy, looks like she is gonna bring you years of joy.

A grandson to hunt with and a Chessie pup from Westpeake to train ... I can't imagine life being so grand!! Thank you for sharing. I have been fortunate to hunt and live with dogs from Brian for over 30 years, his spring litters allow for the excitement of having a pup to train and hunt their very first fall!

Sounds like shes a natural , just let her go,maybe just concentrate on sit and stay.
l had a lab that was trained to run out and fetch geese when the caller said TAKUM , he was off like lighting , and back before the next flock to sit and wait for the next call , maybe you could teach her that.
Good luck

You have yourself one hell of a good dog. She will only get better with further training & maturity. Chessie over any other, smart, intense, and never quit.
