I was fortunate to receive a male from Shine's first litter. At eight weeks of age he was extremely well socialized and very healthy. I'm a passionate waterfowler and have had retrievers most of my life. This is my second chessie. He is the best dog that i have had to date. Outstanding nose, eager to please, very personable, and extremely birdy, Steve and Kylie Boyer are honest, dedicated chessie breeders. Max Vanburen DVM Lisbon, Ohio
