Magnum is truly an exceptional dog; you will not find a dog with more drive and desire. He never tires of training or hunting. His marking ability is outstanding and he runs as hard and fast on blind retrieves as he does on marks. He was a very easy dog to train and can take pressure. He loves people and has an excellent temperament.
Magnum is an AKC Master Hunter, he completed his AKC Junior Hunter at 9 months, and his Senior at 18 months. He received his first qualifying score in Master’s at his first attempt at 29 months. I ran him in the 2000 Chesapeake National Field Trial Specialty where he took first place in the Derby. This was very special for us, as this was my first and only experience at Field Trials, and the fact that I trained him myself with no professional help was very rewarding.
More important to me than his accomplishments in the Hunt test and Field Trials, is the fact that Magnum has proven to be an outstanding hunting dog in both waterfowl and upland game. Each Autumn we travel together on waterfowl/pheasant hunting trips to destinations such as North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Arkansas, and Tennessee. We also chase the Spring Snow Geese in Nebraska together. I emphasize this, because unlike many Field Trial/Hunt Test dogs, Magnum is a true hunting dog who spends many days in the fields and marshes and knows the game and loves every minute of it.
Magnum meets all of the standards for the Chesapeake Breed, and has earned points in the Show Ring. Frozen semen available to approved bitches. His stud fee is $750.
