NorthWyn (NorthWyn-formerly spelled NorthWind) began when I purchased my first hunting Chesapeake in 1974 from the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Our breeding program started in 1976. AM/CAN CH* Shore Waters Michigan CD WD was my personal gundog, faithful companion and foundation sire. He led us into the world of dogs show, field trials, obedience and OFA certification. Moose was a tremendous hunting dog who had natural ability and was so forgiving of a rookie handler training a natural. Due to an untimely and unfortunate accident, the last of my direct line to Moose was lost. Knowing that Gary and Dorene Irish of Irish's Cloverleaf Kennels had line-bred on my foundation sire AM/CAN CH Shore Waters Michigan CD WD, Reed and Connor were purchased to continue the NorthWyn legacy. The legacy continues with fourth generations from Moose-Logan and Fisher and now the fifth generation is being hunted & shown-NorthWyns Maple Valley Bay Lady.

   

Over the 33 years of owning, breeding and hunting Chesapeakes we have produced outstanding Champion hunting dogs with natural hunting ability, great temperaments & personalities, intelligence and good looks. We are very proud of their natural abilities from hunting to the show ring, into event competitions and winning! Our Chesapeakes take time off from competition to hunt in the fall.

NorthWyn may breed 1-2 litters a year. ALL our puppies are well socialized and are introduced to feathers at 4 weeks of age. Introduction to water begins in the pool and/or pond in the spring, summer & fall. Before buying your first Chesapeake, please read this article:
