How it all began… “Emo”
Back in the early 1990s, I was a forester in the north Maine woods. My husband Mike wanted me to have protection. Rather than getting a firearm, we bought our 1st Chessie, “Emo” back in 1991. Emo was a perfect fit for the job - rugged, strong endurance, sensible, and devoted. ​
We’ve had a love story with Chessies ever since!​
About Us
Bitten by the Chessie bug…
We realized that Chessies were a special breed. They are intelligent, have intense drive, learn quickly, and are extremely dedicated to their owners. ​
This was the dog for us!​
Our kennel…​
Our kennel is located in Orrington, Maine. Our dogs are part of our family!​
We started breeding in 2012, naming our kennel Chesamo Chesapeakes. Since Emo, we have had a long line of ~’Mo names~ (Cosmo, Tazmo, Gizmo, and many ‘mo). Every puppy starts with a ‘mo name. ​
It’s just what we do!​
