Longmeadow Chesapeake Bay Retrievers

We could not be more pleased with Laura's professionalism and kindness throughout the entire process from questionnaire submission to puppy pickup several months later. She chose a beautiful, healthy, active, happy pup, and we highly recommend her services if you are interested in a high-quality Chesapeake Bay Retriever.

My Red was born with hip dysplasia, and a very bad skin allergy where she would lose her fur across her back every summer. Yet Laura still wanted to breed this dog and have puppies made from Red. Two vets advised me not to let her do it. I kept Red . Paid Laura off just to get her off of my back and leave us alone .With all Red’s problems she was a wonderful, fun, loving dog that lived a happy life. Her personality was the best and everyone ( Vet included ) loved Red.I do not recommend this breeder and neither does a lot of breeders out of New Jersey and Maryland. I am surprised that she is still in business!! Goggle “ Good Dog “ to find a certified approved breeder.

We've had our chessie for 1 year now, and I'm pleased with the services received from Laura. Our puppy was tested for genetic disorders and cardiac disorders with initial vet visit. Proof was provided for these tests at pick up. I found her to be very knowledgeable in the questions I had and when I left I felt comfortable and confident I had made the right choice in a breeder. Rico has been a wonderful addition to our family and could out swim all of us. He is a very happy and healthy pup.

Was very pleased with how things are run. Laura and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The dogs look healthy and happy and my family and I would not purchase a puppy anywhere else. We were just very pleased with our visit and purchase. They made us feel like family and it was a enjoyable experience.

Do not do business with this person. I would give negative stars if I could. I purchased a puppy from Longmeadow kennels for $1800 and a week after picking him up he was dying on my livingroom floor. The puppy was diagnosed with a genetic condition called puppy strangles. This was documented by the vet bills and notes and the fact that he suffered from this condition was never contested by anyone. He eventually recovered after several months and well over $1000 of vet bills. I assumed because the purchase included a health guarantee that most or all of the costs for treatment would be covered. This turned out not to be the case. Laura told me her 'vet group' was trying to determine how this could happen and to wait. Her 'vet group' doesn't exist, it's just google searches. She tried have me exchange dogs which I declined as my family had already bonded with the puppy and I had already spent north of $600 on vet bills anyway. She then begrudgingly agreed to refund me $600 for the costs of treatment, which I agreed to just to put the whole miserable experience behind me. She told me she would give me the money when she sells her next litter sometime between Christmas and New Years. I didn't like that but she once told me over the phone that she is poor and can't afford to give refunds so I decided to wait and see. So now it's time to collect my refund and she is a ghost. I've sent several emails and absolutely no response. Now I have have to try and recover what I can through the Pennsylvania puppy mill laws they passed in 2008. Nightmare! Stay away. Oh and the puppy tested positive for giardia the day after i brought him home too. Which she tried to blame on me. I'm sure there are respectable breeders in the area but this is not one of them.
