I have an 8 week old deadgrass AKC Chesapeake male that needs a good home. He has an umbilical hernia that will need to be repaired when he is neutered. It is not a major health issue, but it will have to be fixed. Also, he must be neutered. These are two stipulations for getting him. He is a very good looking puppy with a great personality.
For more information or pictures call me at 864-979-6085 or email at tdavis8867@charter.net.
Thanks,

Just curious, why the neutered clause? Is the umbilical hernia a genetic issue that you as a breeder want to stop?

Also where are you located?

Thanks

Hi CT,
The hernia might be genetic or it may just be that his mother was to rough when she cleaned him up. It was her first litter and she was rather awkward cleaning them. I just don't want to risk passing the hernia trait to other puppies if it is genetic. It's better to get a male neutered anyway, unless you do plan on breeding him. They tend to focus on one thing if they aren't neutered. We have another male available that could be used for breeding, if that's what you're looking for.
Otherwise, he is a great little Chessie. He has an outstanding personality, as does his mother and father. Both parents are excellent retrievers with lots of will and desire. They love to retrieve. They would go all day long, non-stop if we let them.
We are located in Greer, SC. That is about 15 minutes out of Greenville.
Thanks,
Tim

CT,
If you're intrested in the puppy, I'm going to be around Brunswick, Georgia on Feb. 3rd for a boar hunt. I would be glad to meet you with him then. He has been dewormed and had his first shot.

Thanks for the feedback TD, I will discuss with my wife and let you know if we want to add him to the family. If we don't, best of luck finding a good home.

We placed the puppy in a good home. The new owner is local and his chessie recently passed away, so it all worked out good.
