Become a fan of Hope Springs Farm and follow us on Facebook: share pictures of your Chesapeakes or other retrievers and your hunting adventures! We also put up to date information on planned breedings, training days, and our dogs on our page there. All Chesapeakes are descended from two dogs shipwrecked off the coast of Maryland in 1802. It was the first breed recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1887. Chesapeakes originated on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay to bring in the day's haul and guard the watermen's crab shacks. The Chesapeake is one of few breeds and the only retriever developed entirely in the U.S., by and for Americans, to retrieve our birds in our country.
