Retriever Journal is helping the Chesapeake breed gain the respect it deserves and Chesapeakes from Northern Flight Retrievers appear regularly on the pages of Retriever Journal.

Our Chesapeake Bay Retriever Operation is strictly a family hobby  that grew out of my involvement in hunting and living with these great dogs.
