GCH CoolWater’s The Tide Is High – “Jesse”
Jesse the Chessie (GCH CoolWater’s the Tide is High) had a great weekend by garnering herself a Group 2 placement on Saturday and a Best Of Breed win on Sunday.
Thank you to Judge Robert D. Ennis for this honor.
It’s been a good weekend in Raleigh, NC. Jesse – GCH CH CoolWater’s The Tide Is High, picked up two BOS wins. On Sunday, she went and picked up a Best of Breed win AND made the first cut in Group. Her handler reported that Jesse’s showing very nicely at the moment.
We’re very proud of the two of them.
What a great weekend! Jesse was entered Saturday and Sunday in the shows in West Friendship, MD.
Saturday, Jesse (CH CoolWater’s the Tide is High) was entered in the regional specialty. She took the Select Bitch win under breeder judge, Mrs. JoAnn Colvin. This gave her another major (I do believe) towards her Grand Championship.
Sunday, she took BEST OF BREED, over many nice entries – including several specials – earning herself yet another major towards her Grand Championship.
If I counted correctly, I believe she might’ve earned her Grand Championship. If so, she earned it in 6 shows by taking a major win at each show. That’s awesome!
A huge thank you to Nicole Culotta with Golden Moments Petography for taking the candid photos of Jesse for me in the ring.
I’ve been very fortunate lately with one of Morgan’s puppies. Jesse, the girl who took Select Bitch at the National Show Specialty had a very good weekend in Salisbury, MD.
Jesse was competing against other dogs that were considerably older and more mature than she is. Jesse just turned two the end of September and will specialed, out on the show circuit, in 2012. It’ll be interesting, and exciting, watching her accomplishments in the upcoming year.
Jesse has many positive attributes about her – including little ears, lovely length of neck, beautiful shoulders, short in loin, ample substance and a gorgeous head and expression. Her movement, too, is very correct and sound – clean coming and going with good reach and drive.
With very limited showing, Jesse earned her AKC show championship with one 4-point major earned at a Regional Chesapeake Show Specialty and TWO 5-point majors earned during an American Chesapeake Club Supported weekend. All shows had good competition with 20 or more Chesapeakes entered. Also, in September 2011, the same weekend she turned 2 years of age, Jesse took the Select Bitch award at the Chesapeake National Show Specialty. This was one of the largest specialty’s in breed history – with over 400 Chesapeakes entered. Like her Championship, Jesse went on and earned her Grand Championship very quickly and in 2013, Jesse took the Best Opposite Sex win at the AKC/Eukanuba show.
Temperament wise, Jesse has a very happy-go-lucky go-with-the-flow attitude. Like many Chesapeakes, she bonds strongly to those she knows. She gets along well with other dogs – both male and female. We are very excited about Jesse’s future and more information on her will be forthcoming.
Jesse is handled exclusively by Darlene Bergan.

Chesapeake puppies tummies can be sensitive to food changes so we suggest you keep your pup on the same food. If you decide to change his/her food it needs to be done very gradually.
We highly suggest setting a feeding schedule for your puppy — and keeping to it — which will aide in housebreaking.Your Chessie puppy has been eating three times a day at approximately 6:30 a.m. (breakfast), 12:00 p.m. (lunch), and 6:00 p.m. (dinner). This schedule is not cast in stone and can fluctuate slightly. However, we recommend the final feeding be no later that 7:00 p.m. This will allow enough time for the puppy to go outside a few times before bedtime.
Your puppy’s breakfast should be given after he/she has gone potty outside and had a little play session. Lunch should be given approximately halfway between the breakfast and dinner feedings. At first, give your puppy about 3/4 cup of food. Let the pup have access to the food for about 15 minutes. If there is any food left in the bowl after 15 minutes, then pick up what hasn’t been eaten. Do not give him/her more food until the next feeding time. At that time, give the puppy its normal allotted food amount. Continue this through his/her scheduled feedings
As Chessie puppies grow, so do their appetites. If your puppy consistently finishes all of the food offered, and he/she isn’t overweight, then you can increase the amount foodd, 1/4 cup at a time. Many Chessie puppies eat a lot, and will act famished even if they aren’t. Be careful not to overfeed. It is important that your puppy not become overweight. You should be able to feel the ribs quite readily when your pup is standing.
We do NOT recommend free feeding your Chessie.
By six months of age, we recommend a twice a day feeding schedule. At this time take the same amount of food you have been feeding in a day and divide it into two feedings. At one year you may switch to feeding once a day.
Typically, adult female Chessies eat between 1 and 3 cups per day, while males eat between 3 and 5 cups per day. Food consumption varies from dog to dog based on individual metabolism and activity level. It is not recommended to feed the amount on the packaging – instead, feed according to your dogs needs. If your dog looks a little plump, then cut him/her back 1/4 cup. If your pup looks thin, then increase his/her food.
If you feel you need to switch foods. Please do so gradually to help avoid stomach upset. Below is a general guideline on how to switch foods:
Day 1 & 2: feed 3/4 old food and 1/4 new food (mixed together)
Day 3 & 4: feed 1/2 old food and 1/2 new food (mixed together)
Day 5 & 6: feed 3/4 new food and 1/4 old food (mixed together)
Day 7: feed 100% new food
Jesse takes Winners Bitch at the regional Specialty in Maryland under breeder judge Robyn Haskin.
This weekend was a Chessie Specialty in Maryland. There was a rather large entry with something like 48 entries. Jessie, Coolwater’s the Tide is High, was entered for ring experience. I really didn’t expect her to do anything as the competition in the Mid-Atlantic/New England area is very tough. I was absolutely thrilled when I received a phone call from Jessie’s co-owner telling me that Jessie took Winners Bitch for a 4 pt. major — and under a breeder judge at that!
