American Chesapeake Club National Show Specialty Lancaster, PA  -  September 16-21, 2014 “KEY TO THE FUTURE" Schedule of Events All Thursday thru Saturday events are at the Lancaster Host Resort

Celebrating Your National Specialty - We would like to invite you to the American Chesapeake Club’s 2014 National Specialty Show to be held in central Pennsylvania in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country.  This area is known for its rich history, covered bridges, hand crafted Amish goods, fine food, and fabulous shopping.   

This year’s theme is “Key to the Future”.  When we were in the early planning stages for the National, we wanted to celebrate the Chesapeake Bay Retriever past and present and their heritage as a versatile hunting dog, family companion, protector, and athlete.  Their legacy lies in the future of the breed, both dogs and enthusiasts.  Without them, all of our hard work and that of those before us will have been for naught.  This belief is why we chose a puppy for this year’s logo and will be the center of several exciting activities we are planning. 

Our National Specialty is not just a dog show, it takes tremendous dedication from many people, and over two years of planning.  This would not be possible without our National Specialty Show Committee volunteers.  Volunteers are an essential part of the success of our National Specialty and are needed in all events.  Experience the enjoyment of being a part of the National Specialty team.  Many assignments need little or no advance training.  If you are new to any of these events, this is a great opportunity to learn!!  If you would like to find out how you can help, either feet on the ground, or pre-planning, please contact the show chairs or one of the event chairs.  

Events will include Tracking, Agility, Obedience, Rally, Conformation and Working Dog stakes.  Now is the time to start training those youngsters, or teach your dog a few new tricks and try a new event.  Maybe this will be the year you go for the Triple Crown Versatility Challenge!  While we often say it’s all about the dogs, we usually find it’s also about the people.  We invite you to join us for the entire week of planned events and to meet old friends and make new ones. 

Check back often for updates!!!!
