I have never seen a chessie beat any of my lab at a hunt test nor a field trial but all that I am saying is true. They are a one person dog. I have owned chessies in the past and currently own two of them, but they are truely my own dogs. All I am saying is what I read from doggers description of what is happening to the dogs. Either you believe me or not it is your choice but you might later regret it. I do not hate the breed or have grudge against the breed or any other breed. If you don't believe me talk to other pro trainers in your area and you will get the same answer as what I have stated. With the field trails its a fact that the dog is doing 100+ yard marks so all I was doing was giving you an insight on the field trail world. Maybe I shouldn't have been so polite and just tell you that you should of have gotten a lab instead of a chessie. But that is just not me and you should be glad you got the chessies I never stated they were a bad dog or breed, all I did was state the truth and if you can't handle the truth then you should not have ask.
