Misty Hill Chesapeakes
Meet the breeder
I'm M. Stacey T., the breeder behind Misty Hill Chesapeakes located in Brooksville, FL. Misty Hill does not breed often. I do all the required health testing on my dogs, and any litter will be from proven/level-headed dogs. Whether your goal is a competition or not, I hope to get my puppies in homes where they get the attention they deserve and provide the companionship we all need.
Q. & A. with M. Stacey
Why did you start breeding?
I only breed when I am looking to add a dog, and my goal is to build a better dog. I also live with my dogs, so I know not only the conformation but temperament. Fads and marketing of dogs (purebred and non) now often displace quality, health, and deviation from the breed standards. I hope to use my lifetime of dog and professional experience to build good Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.What makes your program special?
My program is a passion 1st. Ultimately the goal is long-lived, healthy, stable companion dogs. If that goal is met, those dogs can do all the other things we ask of our dog companions, whether it be show, field, therapy, tracking, hanging out with the family, or any other activity we ask of our dog companions. The human/animal bond is what I hope all my puppies can be a part of.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
