Desert Oasis Chesapeakes/Kennels Small Family owned Kennel Okay! I have to be honest here, I never wanted a Chessie! BOY was I ever wrong! But be aware these are NOT first time dog owner dogs!

I know it's hard to believe, but I had heard enough RUMORS about them as well as personal experience to try and talk Nathan out of getting a Chessie! (For those of you who didn't know Max originally belonged to my brother in law Nathan.) I had my dad's experience with his Chessie lashing out at my pregnant mother, and a Chessie I had met at my work, who I was informed would often snap at his owner for seemingly no reason. And living with a dozen nieces and nephews I didn't see how a Chessie would fit into the family. Though I did stop persisting and actually found a breeder just to have a puppy around. A Chesapeake raised with the right surroundings is an AMAZING family dog. Max really has a one of a kind attitude and Kyra does as well. Nor are they a great dog to be left alone at a farm! THEY NEED TO BE SOCIALIZED!! I now have two Chessies! I love this breed and I want to share them with EVERYONE!! Look for our first litter in 2016! All of our dogs will be health tested.

🐾 CHESSIE COLORS: Let's Talk Tan Points! 🐾

Did you know Chesapeake Bay Retrievers come in more than just solid colors?

Meet Blossom! ❤️ Those beautiful lighter markings on her face, legs, and chest are commonly called tan points or hound markings.

And no, they don't mean she's mixed with another breed! 😉

🧬 It's All in the Genetics!

Chessies have quite a bit of color variety hiding in their pedigrees! While brown, sedge, and deadgrass are the three recognized color families, additional genetic patterns can create tan points, saddle markings, and other interesting variations.

Some of these traits are recessively inherited, meaning they can quietly pass through generations before showing up in a puppy. That's why looking at an entire pedigree matters, not just the parents!

❤️ Meet Blossom!

🌸 Blossom — Our beautiful, boldly marked girl! She's enthusiastic, driven, and full of potential. She'd love an active home where she can put that wonderful Chessie brain to work.

Blossom is looking for a family of her own!

Remember, a Chesapeake is so much more than a coat color. It's generations of breeding, personality, and working heritage wrapped up in one amazing dog.

I've gotten a handful of calls recently and emails for my pups. Some call and say when will you have new pups. My answer will be the same. When these girls all find their forever home. I am absolutely the reason most are still here, because I'm picky, because I no longer feel the need to bend my own rules to just have them go home, just to get them back a year later.(Doesn't happen often, but it doesn't happen.)

The hunter says 6 months is too old to train them, or their kids want a puppy. That's fine, we all have our preferences. But I know these girls. I can tell you with confidence which one should hunt, which should have a quiet family, which one will do sports, and which ones are too hard headed for a new owner. I love this age, because they are showing me they can hang onto that drive. Which ones have an off switch, and which one just doesn't have the temperament for the home you are wanting to provide.

So no it's not their fault they are here, it's mine, because the perfect home won't care about the age, they are looking for the perfect dog for them. :) Each one is special, each has their own personality, and each is mine until their new home is found. (Also I'm bad at advertising 😂)

So if you think you are looking for a fabulous girl to add to your pack, your family, or into your blind.. message me.

Now everyone gets to show is their silly side! Bunch of goofy girls. :)

The crew heard “let’s go for a walk” and immediately formed a very loose committee. 😂🐾

A little exploring, a lot of sniffing, and absolutely no agreement on which direction we’re going. Just another good day out in the sagebrush at Desert Oasis Kennels.

Little Roo left for his forever home this afternoon!! Have a good life buddy!

Meet Strawberry 🍓 from our Bonnie/Torch litter! This little doll is looking for a confident owner to show her the ropes. She is looking to please and a quick learner. Gets along with others dogs and the cats, but can be a lot. She learns quickly and is a sensitive girl.
She is 22 weeks. :)

I know I said it before, but I will say it again.
My answer to "What if they don't sell?" Will always be the same.
Then they stay here until they find their homes. Because they will find their homes. And until they do they are my responsibility. I have seen so many dumped, relinquished, and abandoned dogs lately.
It makes me sad. These girls and Roo, have a home here as long as they need it. This does however mean I will not have any more breedings until all my girls find their forever families.
Besides, my lack of advertising is likely at fault lol 🤣

Update! Roo has found his forever home.
All females now. :)

On that note all these lovely ladies are looking for their homes and one Roo(male). :) Bea is open to a home but has special requirements.

We still have some absolutely gorgeous girlies looking for their homes.
The older girls are fully vaccinated except rabies. I prefer to do this at 6 months or older.

Little girls have 3. We also have one little boy available.

Started on some obedience. Used to chaos and kids. Older females looking for jobs.
