I'm Tracey H., the breeder behind Crystal Springs Chesapeake’s located in Mack, CO. We offer top-quality puppies from carefully planned litters. We focus on temperament, soundness, and beauty. By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, we believe we are able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.
Q. & A. with Tracey
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for Chesapeake Bay Retrievers to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine whether that be as a member of the family, ducking dogs, sporting or of course, all of the above!
What makes your program special?
We take great care with each breeding to ensure we are producing puppies that are excellent representations of their standard. All of our puppies are exposed to water, swimming, and scent training for hunting. We would be thrilled to connect you with your next beloved companion!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
