My advice - BUCKLE UP! I had an incredible chesie but she was a handful. There is an old saying - "You train a Golden with a weed, a lab with a reed, and a chesie with a 2x4!" They are hard-headed dogs who require absolutely consistent training and they will test you, but they have an incredible drive and you will never find a dog who wants to hunt more (I once hunted with my chesie in 7 degree weather with blowing snow - every other dog wanted back in the kennel, but my dog hated coming out of the field)!
