I cannot tell you how this takes me back. In some of these photos your dog appears like a twin to my old Sam, gone since 1984. He was a tremendous friend to me, and an incredible hunting partner. He was from a line of dogs bred by a Mrs Heller-Cherry I believe. I bought him from a breeder in SoCal during the recession of 1980 for $25 because no one was buying dogs. Sam taught me an awful lot about training. He died tragically; I will always miss him.
@mariashusband So sorry for the tragic loss of Sam. What a previlage to have owned a dog by such a great icon at Mrs. Heller-Cherry, I wish I would of gotten to meet her. She was a great asset to this breed. I so love Norman and hope I never lose him. He is my world! I'm glad I could share him with you. Good luck to you!
@mariashusband I feel your lost too. My familys 14 year chessie passed away a couple years ago. Same breeder also! We loved him so much. So gentle around humans. He was my dad's 2nd chessie.
