Lion's Pride Kennels

Lion's Pride Kennels, Chesapeake Bay retrievers in Cattaraugus, NY, is based in Cattaraugus County and the Southern Tier near Buffalo. Jan Bobseine follows breed club guidelines for health testing, screening hips and elbows through national health programs, and conducts temperament evaluations with each adult dog. Puppies are whelped in a family room and receive daily socialization, ensuring they grow accustomed to household routines and children. Each retriever spends off-leash time exploring spacious fenced fields and swimming in a gentle creek on the property.

The kennel emphasizes the Chesapeake Bay retriever's natural retrieving instincts and steady temperament. Several alumni have gone on to hunt tests, conformation shows and community therapy visits, reflecting the breed’s versatility. Clean bedding, a balanced diet and regular veterinary checkups support long-term health and soundness. Clients appreciate the transparent lineage information and thoughtful guidance Jan provides on training and care.
