I'm Lynda B., the breeder behind Nuka Bay Chesapeakes located in Anchorage, AK. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I strive to produce top-quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.
Q. & A. with Lynda
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Chesapeake Bay Retrievers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Chesapeake Bay Retrievers for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. The health and temperament of my puppies are my number one priority and I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
