Show Report: West Friendship, MD

GCH CoolWater's The Tide is High "Jesse"

It was a very good weekend in West Friendship, MD. Friday, “Jesse” won Best of Breed under judge Joe Purkhiser. I was very excited about this win. However, what’s even more exciting is that Mr. Purkhiser also gave her littermate “Oak” one of his first group wins several months back.  On Saturday, Jesse took the Select Bitch win and on Sunday, she again took Best of Breed under judge Nancy Cowley.

This was Jesse’s second weekend out this year. I look forward to reporting her achievements as she ventures forward.

Show Report: West Friendship, MD

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.

CH CoolWater's The Tide Is High

Show Report: Salisbury, MD

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.

  • Friday, she took Best Opposite Sex (BOS) to earn herself her second major towards her Grand Championship.
  • Saturday, she took Select Bitch (Sel B) to earn herself her third major towards her Grand Championship.
  • Sunday, she took Best Opposite Sex (BOS) to ear herself her fourth major (I think I counted correctly) towards her Grand Championship.

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.

GCH CoolWater's The Tide Is High - "Jesse"
SILVER GCH** CoolWater’s The Tide Is High – “Jesse”

Co-owned, and residing in VA, Jesse is a beautiful Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She is a daughter of Morgan (CH Silvercreek’s Spiced Rum) x Nash (CH** Misty Hill Nash). She is medium brown in coloring and has a very correct short dense course coat and is in the middle of the Chesapeake standard at about 22″ and 65 lbs.

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.

CH CoolWater's The Tide is High

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! 

Congratulations to Tom Flores, Jessie’s co-owner and a huge thank you to Judge Robyn Haskin for awarding Jessie the win and Darlene Bergan for handling Jessie so nicely that day!
