Chesapeake Bay Retriever Breeders, TAS

We are one of the few breeders and exhibitors of this beautiful breed in Australia. Having purchased our first "chessie" in the early 80's, we loved the breed right from the start. The chesapeake bay retriever is a wonderful companion, loyal and affectionate. We have imported 2 male chesapeake bay retrievers in the last few years from Stormbay kennels in New Zealand and these boys have left a mark with the chessies of Australia and we look forward to what the future will produce from these lines.

I’ve been involved with his lovely breed for approximately six years now. Home and breeder of Australia’s only Supreme Champion Chesapeake - C.I.B Supreme Champion Kabova The Wolf Among Us. We have also bred Australia’s only two Chesapeake‘s with an international beauty title. Kabova has been the number One breeder in Australia for a number of years now

We have owned bred and shown Chessies for 17 years here in the Illawarra of New South Wales.All our dogs are raised as pets and are house dogs.We thank Tenarda, Stormbay , Crowlee and Bamgyps kennels for their wonderfully bred dogs that have contributed to the Chessiehaven dog linage .In this time we have bred several litters and these have produced champions (Thanks to Margaret Wedgewood) . Our dogs: Stormy 12 years,Tug 6.5 years and Redge 4.5 years and Tayta 4.5 years are all wonderful examples of the Chessie.
