Meet the breeder
I'm Laurea G., the breeder behind Laurelwood Chesapeakes located in Newnan, GA. We have a small, very selective breeding program based in Newnan, Georgia, where we strive to maintain the highest standards of the breed with respect to conformation, temperament and working abilities. We work hard to continuously demonstrate and validate this by competing with our dogs in multiple venues such as conformation showing, hunt tests, field trials, obedience and tracking. In addition to the breed standard we place equal importance on the health, happiness and longevity of the puppies that come from our breeding program, and offer a lifetime of support to our puppy owners.
