AKC-registered Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. Bird dogs we hunt behind every season.
The Program
A Family That Lives This Breed
River Recon Chesapeakes isn't a kennel — it's a family with two AKC-registered bird dogs we hunt behind every season. When we decided to breed, we did it right.
We breed Chesapeakes the way they were meant to be: tough, driven, and loyal.
