About "Bery":
BERY was a multiple Sporting group winning & placing dog with 30 placements (5 Group Firsts)-all owner handled. He easily completed his championship with 17 pts. and 4 majors in a total of 7 shows- 2 of which were at 6 mos. of age. He was WD at the 2000 ACC National Specialty; WD 2000 NCCBRC Specialty; WD at 2 ACC Supported shows- Lexington & Philadelphia 1999. He has won BOB at 5 ACC Supported shows and finished in the Top Ten Chesapeake ratings in 2001 & 2002 & 2003 & 2004. #1 Stud dog of show titled offspring in 2003, 2004 & 2005. As of July 2007, he is now #4 sire ALL TIME in Chesapeake breed history and the #1 Sire in Great Britain in 2007 & 2010 !
Conformation wise, he had outstanding structure- excellent shoulders, proper short back & topline and well bent stifles. His movement was excellent- reach & power rear drive. His coat is very thick and well waved. If I were to criticize him, it would be that his head could have been shorter in length and tighter in lip.
His temperament was unbelievable- he loved everything and everyone. He was great with children and other dogs. He loved to retrieve- is a natural retriever as he delivers to hand and holds without being forced fetched. He has a very resilient attitude toward discipline. Unlike many CBRS, he did not sulk or carry a grudge when corrected. He produces good front & rear angulation, coat and bone.
As a sire, he has produced the 39 champion offspring. Among them are a Ch/MH (Master Hunter); Ch/MACH (Master Agility Champion) CD JH; and a BIS Ch. Seven of his sons have sporting group placements including Firsts. Two of offspring have been #1 CBR of the year in conformation-a daughter in 2005 & a son in 2007.
One son was was #1 CBR in 2007 in breed pts. His offspring have won awards in England, Wales, Sweden, Holland, Czech Republic and Norway. 12 have earned JH titles in Hunt Tests; 2 have a SH level title and 2 sons with a MH title. Another daughter has her MACH title. Of 48 offspring have been x-rayed for hips & rated by OFA- 44 passed (9 Excellent;30 Good; 7 Fair), with three more that did not pass.
His offspring are typically much like their sire in temperament-outgoing with a great work ethic.
His pedigree offers a linebred (Ch Pond Hollow Ketch/Ch Chester Brown IV CD) outcross for bitches since he carries no Tug, Come Back Hank or Casablanca in his background.
