Bohemia Kennels

Bohemia Kennels, Chesapeake bay retrievers, Davidsonville, MD, serves Anne Arundel County and the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis. Valerie Vollmers has focused on responsible breeding for many years, following guidelines to promote temperament and structural soundness. All adults undergo hip and eye health testing before joining the breeding program and puppies are raised inside the home with regular handling.

Their farm-like property borders woodland trails where young retrievers learn confidence on land and in water, reflecting the breed’s heritage. Socialization includes visits with children, other household pets and gentle introduction to nearby pond settings. Prospective owners appreciate steady communication and detailed puppy profiles that document early development milestones. They maintain a small-scale program focused on health and temperament, avoiding overbreeding to preserve family-oriented traits. Each litter is accompanied by a care pack with feeding guidelines and enrichment ideas tailored to each puppy’s personality.
