Meet the breeder
I'm Tia D., the breeder behind Marshpoint Gun Dogs located in Davison, MI. Marshpoint produces a litter only when we are ready to add to our family. We follow strict health standards and carefully select males that complement our females and represent the breed well. Our dogs are beloved pets, hunters, conformation and performance dogs.
Q. & A. with Tia
Why did you start breeding?
I bred my first Chesapeake litter in 2000 with a strong focus on temperament and health. In 2020, my husband and I bred our Chesapeake to keep a puppy, resulting in Sassy, who exceeded all expectations. She has since produced eight beautiful puppies, and we are excited to welcome one of her puppies as our next family member soon.What makes your program special?
At Marshpoint, we prioritize early socialization by exposing each puppy to other dogs, people of all ages, varied textures, and moving objects like wobble boards, teeters, and tunnels. Puppies are also introduced to hunting-related sights and sounds. They are handled daily, well loved, microchipped, and dual registered with AKC/UKC.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
