Here is a pic of my 9 year old female chessie, Delta. She has had two cuciate repair surgeries (one on each knee), so she is kinda semi retired....even though she has a fit when I try and hunt the other dog without her!
These are photos of Bear; he is a 5 year old chessie that is a semi rescue. He was lanquishing in a kennel when I got him; previous owner got him as a pup, sent him to a trainer where they did some basic work with him. The owner wasn't pleased with his progress, so left him there. I took him and we've been working on getting him into hunting. I think the lightbulb finally went on this past fall....too bad we got froze out early.
