My beloved Mom, Eleanor Kushner passed away 11-12-11 she was 90 years old. 

Sorry to all who have been trying to contact me, If I have not returned your calls please try again.  My Mom was in the final stages of cancer and wished to die at home so I've been there (with Georgelle) taking care of my Mom for her last few months.   I'm sure the next few months will be a hard for me as I was very close to my Mom and an only child, so I have much to do.   I've also broken my right hand which has a lovely cast making typing a one finger left handed nightmare.  Can't even use the mouse right handed! The good news is that my foot surgery has finally happened so I have to sit for the next few weeks and catch up on all my paperwork.  Unfortunately with all the pain meds I'm taking I might not remember anything I've done.  I'm broken at both ends and in the middle too!!!  Please call again if I've lost your original call.  I should have puppies coming up and I'm taking reservations for both the puppies and the training dogs for next year.

Raven, Raptor, Tigger and Red Hawk, helping Ray put the glass block window in the kennel.  By time Ray got the glass block in he couldn't see through his glasses from all the kisses.  Notice the pink roll next to Raven, right after this picture was taken she grabbed it and took off running!  We were laughing so hard at them sticking their heads through the window that Raven decided we needed more to laugh about, bad girl.  Or she figured she wouldn't get into trouble since we were already laughing.

My 12 dog Jones trailer is for sale, please call or email for more information.   440-724-6677 cell

American Chesapeake Club's Champion Master Hunter Trophy was earned by Kodiak (CH Idlywoods Northern Exposure MH WDQ held by Ray Heintel), Glacier Bay (CH Pond Hollow N TLCs Glacier Bay MH NAP NJP WDQ** held by Kathy Heintel) and Tigger (CH Safe Harbor Treasure Lake Geo MH WDQ** held by Bob Reckart). The trophy is only awarded to those dogs that complete their show ring championship and the highest level of hunt tests, the master hunter title. Kathy Heintel finished all the championships with the help of her friends, and all the dogs were trained and run by both Kathy Heintel and Bob Reckart in the hunt tests. The summer of 2011 Blink (CH Pond Hollow Arctic Ice Blink MH), Falcon (CH Treasures Falcon Del Star MX MXJ MH) and Amazing (CH Sanderson's Lil Miss Amazin NA NAJ MH) earned their master hunter titles to become 3 more Campion Master Hunters for Treasure Lake.

What We Do At Treasure Lake Chesapeakes.

Training Hunting Retrievers.

At Treasure Lake Kathy Heintel trains a wide variety of dogs, not just Chesapeakes. Although Kathy specializes in training Chesapeake Bay Retrievers to hunting titles, Kathy also enjoys training Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Pointers and Setters, for hunting, hunting titles, field trials, basic obedience, and to be well behaved household members.

We train show dogs as well as hunting dogs. We know how to keep your show dog fit and in ring form while field training.

We use a low pressure retrieving training method.  Dogs are obedience trained, taught to hold and force fetched, then positive reinforced for good performance.  This results in a willing and able retriever.  Even hard to train dogs can be willing and able retrievers. Our program includes obedience, ground work to start the dog handling for blinds, water retrieving, and land retrieving.  Dogs can compete for their Junior, Senior, Master hunter titles or their Field Trial titles.  Or your dogs can just be a great dog to take along on your personal hunting trips or walks to the park.

Kathy with the help of her family breeds and raises quality AKC registered Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.

Puppy reservation form

We breed for great temperaments, sound health, train-ability, and conformation.  Our puppies are competing and receiving their titles in conformation, obedience, agility, hunting and field trials.  Treasure Lake breeds one to three litters per year during the winter months so that we can spend 24 hours a day with the puppies to develop them to their fullest potential.  You receive a puppy that has been evaluated by three different people for skills, conformation, and temperament.  The puppies have been introduced to birds, water (if possible), children, car rides, new and different environments, handicapped and elderly.  Puppies are raised in the office and family room with many people coming to visit and play with the puppies.  Puppies are handled from the first day and worked with on an individual basis throughout the 8 weeks they stay with us. Our puppies come with written guarantees and a lifetime of help and placement if for some reason you can't keep your valued family member.  Puppies will be micro chipped, and registered with the AKC.  Puppies are wormed on a regular basis.  Puppies are vaccinated with their first set of shots by a licensed veterinarian.  We only breed after researching both pedigrees, temperaments and abilities of the two dogs and their offspring and always plans on keeping one of the puppies for our breeding program.  We believe that Chesapeake Bay Retrievers should be dual titled dogs with titles at both ends of their names and well as valued members of your family. 

References for training and breeding are available upon request.
