I'm Franklin B., the breeder behind Flying "B" Kennels located in San Antonio, TX. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. I offer top-quality Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies for families who share the same love and passion I do for these lovely companions. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of my pups to excel in life.
Q. & A. with Franklin
Why did you start breeding?
I have been a breeder for 35 years. I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. My dogs and puppies are considered family and they get the best care that I can possibly provide. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
