William Copeland (Hunter's Haven Chessies)

William Copeland (Hunter's Haven Chessies) breeds Boykin spaniels and Chesapeake bay retrievers in Hertford, NC, Inner Banks near Elizabeth City. He has bred and raised dogs for over 15 years, maintains health certifications through recognized registries for hips, elbows, and eyes, and follows national breed club guidelines.

His dogs live indoors as part of the family and have access to secure outdoor runs on wooded acreage, encouraging early socialization and gentle handling. Adult dogs enjoy a climate-controlled kennel with soft bedding and daily exercise along fenced woodland trails. Puppies receive basic obedience exposure before joining their new homes, setting a foundation for confident, adaptable companions.

They explore safe paddocks and enjoy supervised swimming sessions to develop natural retrieving instincts. Copeland values lifelong connections with owners, remains a resource for behavior or health questions, and offers guidance on nutrition, training, and breed-specific care as his litters mature.
