About Us
My family went north to Alaska in 1949 and we homesteaded in Tok Alaska in the early 60’s. Our Chesapeakes traveled north in 1962 with us and started our long love of this unique breed. I have made it my lifelong goal to breed Chesapeakes who are still able be used for hunting in tough conditions, are good looking with good size and powerful both in the water and on land .Careful consideration is given to every breeding while keeping the genetics of our dogs is as pure as possible for the traits these dogs need .This produces outstanding working Chesapeake Retrievers who are also able to reproduce their own good type. I use only the Chesapeakes I consider to be the most outstanding of their breed when choosing mating's and this continues to produce the best offspring. While using my old bloodlines I have since added dogs who trace back many times to my first pair of dogs . Wildwood Chesapeakes are seen on many of the top field trial and hunting pedigrees of modern day Bay dogs. I will continue to breed the old fashioned , hard going Chesapeake duck dogs that were so carefully developed in America, known by many to be theKing of Retrievers.
Our original pair of dogs Rusty right and Gypsy left. Their champion offspring have founded several kennels. See our history for more on them.
Wildwood kennels established in 1963
