Chesapeake Bay Retriever Breeders - Help!

I am looking for some information and good "word of mouth" data on
Chessy breeders in the US. Currently I'm looking for a puppy early Spring of
04, and would like one with good field/gun dog potential. (not show) However,
the selection is so vast I am now wanting more information to narrow the
selection down -- or at least get a different perspective on the breeders.

Does anyone have any personal experiences (good or bad) with:

Lakeshore Kennels, WI
Snowy River Kennels, MT
Ramsey Creek Kennels, IL
Westwind Farms, MI
Colonial Chesapeakes, RI

Any input would be greatly valued...... Please reply to this E-mail address as
shown. Thanks.
