2024 Sand Spring Year In Review
Wow what a year Sand Spring Chesapeakes has had. We said goodbye to the Gloryious One and hello to Cooter and Snapper. We are up to the most Chessies in a house than we ever had. Just like tater chips, can’t have just one so let’s go for 6. This year I think we set a record for the most titles we got on three dogs with the all-time high number of 19. Without further ado this is how our year went down.
We hit the ground running in competitions with entering Slammer in the new AKC Fetch event that opened in February. He received his Fetch Novice title. I became a Fetch judge as well and got to judge some events this year. What fun I had doing that. In March Slammer received his AKC Rally Excellent title, that will be the last title we go for in Rally.
April had its highs and its lows. Slammer received two more Fetch titles, Intermediate and Advanced. The high was after 24 years Sand Spring finally bought a puppy from another breeder. Snow Prairie Retrievers had a litter of 12. When I looked at the breeding, I saw that Gamber was the litters grandpa. I didn’t even know where all Gamblers offspring had gone so it was a surprise to see this breeding. Of course, I had to have one of these pups as we need to get our breeding program up and running again with some breeding females. I put a deposit down and on April 17th I flew to Texas and picked up baby Cooter. The low part of April was two days after I brought Cooter home, we said goodbye to Sand Spring No Gut’s No Glory – AKA Glory – Gloryious One. She was the best Gma and puppy helper that anyone could have asked for. She raised her puppies then she raised her grandpuppies. They could crawl all over her and she didn’t bat an eye. We could trust her with anything or anyone. She is deeply missed.
In May I got the biggest surprise ever, I had been showing Slammer in AKC conformation, he needed one more point for his championship. On May 5th he got one more point and Sand Spring Chesapeakes got their first AKC Show Championship. To say I was over the moon happy is an understatement. Cooter went to her first puppy UKC show with her boyfriend, good practice and getting her used to the show ring. The end of May at only three months old Cooter received her AKC Canine Good Citizen title. She was such a good puppy. In June Slammer leaped into another title, this time it was in UKC dock jumping. He received his United Master Jumper title, his personal best was jumping 22 ft.
July was another high for us, Slammer received his AKC Master Hunter title, this makes the third male at Sand Spring to get their Master title. Slammers brother Gambler has his and their dad Norman has his as well, runs in the family! Slammer also received his Champion Shed Dog title at our WACKO event we host each year. Gertie received three qualifying champion passes with two fourth place placements at our shed dog event.
August we were still dock jumping so Slammer received his United Senior Jumper Champion title. We started a new event by exercising so he also received his Fit Dog Bronze title. I did the fit dog series with Gertie as well, so she received her Fit Dog Bronze title too. The end of August Cooter and I took a little trip with her boyfriend Ronan and his mom Dana. We went to Ohio to attend the ACC National Show Specialty. We had a great time getting practice in the show ring and hanging out with all our Chessie friends from across the US and across the pond. September was another high with multiple titles and a welcoming of baby Snapper into the world. Cooter received her Fetch Novice title, one Fetch Intermediate pass and her Trick Dog Novice title. Slammer received the highest Fetch title, so he is now a Fetch Retriever. He went on to receive his Fit Dog Silver title as well. September 28 I was invited to ride along with the Crawfish gang to Carmelita’s c-sec. The baby daddy is Slammer so of course I welcomed that invitation with open arms. Early that Saturday morning we all hopped into the creeper van and off we went to Veterinary Village. Carmelita was definitely uncomfortable. By the time we got there, opened the door of the van and let her hop down I told Irene to grab a towel as she was having a puppy. So, there we were delivering the first puppy in the vet clinic parking lot. We got her and the puppy in the building where she continued to deliver the puppies, Irene and I helped deliver them then passed them off to the veterinary staff to put in the incubator to keep them warm. We delivered 8 then she shut down, so a c-sec was done at that time to get the last three out. One pup died and she ended up with 10 healthy pups. Snapper was green number 4 girl that I got to deliver so it was a very special moment. The pups went home with momma and the Crawfish gang to grow until 7 weeks of age when I got to bring Snapper home.
October we were still achieving titles as Gertie received her Fit Dog Senior title. Slammer and Gertie got to go on vacation to Saskatchewan where they hunted for a week. I haven’t been to Canada since before Covid so it was nice to go back up to hunt and visit all our friends there. The highlight of the hunting trip was me hunting for the Northern Lights in which I was successful and saw so many pretty lights and got a thousand photos of them. At the end of October John and I started guiding pheasant hunts. Slammer and Gertie were the main ones guiding, Cooter was started on pheasants.
On November 17, I brought baby Snapper home to stay. It was one of the best Birthday presents ever. We now hopefully will have two breeding females when the time comes.
We are nearing the end of 2024, and the Sand Spring gang is still racking up the titles. Slammer received his Fit Dog Gold title and his Therapy Dog Advanced title for having 50 therapy dog visits. Slammer, Gertie and Gambler have all done therapy work this year. We visit two facilities each week. We enjoy our therapy time and love to bring smiles to the residents. I even started taking Cooter so she could get used to the environment. When she turns one, I will have her tested and start her in therapy work. Gertie got two more champion shed dog passes, a couple more and she will receive her title. Cooter was entered in her first official UKC conformation show. She attended 6 shows, she received three competition wins and 75 points towards her title.
In December we got some sad news that Gertie’s sister Nina passed away from liver failure. She is with momma Guilty now and we are very sorry for Nina’s family and thank them for the great life they gave her.
For Gamblers Christmas present we took him on a pheasant hunt. He is now 13.75 years old, and he is doing pretty well for an old guy. He was in all his glory out hunting, you could see the shine in his eyes and the smile on his face flushing and retrieving the pheasants. He retrieved 9 pheasants, and he wanted to do more. There were times I couldn’t keep up with him. He was an excellent hunter in his younger years and he, despite being old, is still an excellent hunter. Can’t keep a good hunting dog down.
Shank and Bake didn’t get to do anything special this year but became the best snuggler ever. She had her yearly eye exam and her cataracts are stable. The right one is still small and the left one that is huge isn’t getting bigger or causing any problems. She gets to hang out, eat, play and babysit the pups another year.
Bones is still going strong too, his mega esophagus is stable as well and he keeps trucking on too.
Cree and Pee are well Cree and Pee, John and I are both doing well and are looking forward to another fun filled year ahead with so many events to enter and so much training to do.
I want to take a moment to say thanks to my training group as without you all we wouldn’t be where we are today, looking forward to another training session with you all too!
Happy New Year everyone!
Tribute to the Glorious One “Glory”
Glory – oh glorious one where to begin. You left such a legacy behind. Thank you for being a big part of Sand Spring Chesapeakes, you will be deeply missed but your children live on and have been successful in any venue they take on. Born on 12/4/11, Nellie (HRCH Sand Spring Hurricane Nellie SH) our foundation bitch was bred to Lefty (CH Port’s Side Great Xpectations MH). This was Nellie’s last litter so we knew we would be keeping a female to keep the lines going. Out of a litter of 4 girls red collar was the one staying. Her name became Sand Spring No Gut’s No Glory. She was all Glory for 12.5 years when she succumbed to a splenic tumor on 4/19/24. When Glory was done raising puppies she became the Matriarch of Sand Spring. She raised her puppies with care and then she went on to raise her daughter’s puppies with the same care and love. She was the one we could trust with anyone, anything and any other dog. She just rolled with the punches, never missing a beat. She was an avid hunter having traveled to Saskatchewan many times as well as hunted upland and waterfowl in WI, therapy dog team where she went on to have 69 visits in various school settings and nursing homes, performance and conformation participant. She was titled in many events UKC and AKC, she was ranked twice in the UKC Top Ten and invited to their invitational at Premier as well as she was ranked 3rd in the UKC Current Top Producing Chesapeake’s, with offspring that have earned 4 titles. One of Glory’s puppies went overseas to England to spread the Sand Spring line. They say when you breed you should breed for the betterment of the breed, and I believe I did that with her children surpassing her in titles and becoming the first Chesapeake’s to accomplish some prestigious titles. She left this earth with her name being HRCH U-CH Sand Spring No Gut’s No Glory SH THD CGCA CGCU TT SPOT-ON. Fly high Glorious one till we meet again you will always be in our hearts and on our minds. Thank you for giving us so much love and joy. B/O/T/H by John & JoAnn Stancer, Cambria WI.

She was ranked 6th in the UKC Top Ten for 2012, she was invited to the UKC Top Ten finals competition at the UKC Premier where on 6/13/13 she was awarded the Award of Excellent. She was our first dog that we showed in AKC conformation for a limited time to earn 3 points.

Glory’s offsprings have earned around 67 titles, I know I’m missing some so it could be way more.
Thank you to all the owners that have given Glory’s pups so much love and for all the time spent training, hunting and competing in various events. These pups are so versatile which is awesome for our breed. You put your mind to something, and you get it done!

Thanks to Kim for showing with me and all my peeps that helped me out with this new adventure. B/O/T/H by JoAnn and John Stancer, Sand Spring Chesapeakes, Cambria WI.

ACC WI Chessie Fun Day 2024
What a Day! The 2024 Annual Wisconsin Chesapeake Fun Day (ACC WI Chessie Fun Day)
was a blast! A huge thank you to John and JoAnn Stancer of Sand Spring Chesapeakes for not only hosting over 90 plus Chesapeakes on their beautiful property.. but for their time and efforts! The Stancer’s put their heart and souls into the event, and it is truly an incredible day! They had everything covered and provided a GREAT day for ALL! From field work / a mock hunt test with marks, blinds and live flyers, upland testing / demonstration/ hunt, farm dog testing, canine good citizen work, raffles, and food trucks, to a puppy/ young dog workshop, a dog first aid seminar, hot dog bobbing, pond swimming, dog crafting, a professional photographer from Alabama (Nichole Alred) and much much more! Thank you!
It was wonderful to see and catch up with so many old friends and meet many new ones! I loved seeing “first time” retrievers and handlers … having fun as well as the old grey veterans strutting their stuff! A credit to the current breeders and breed itself as many “newbies” stepped up to the “line” and with no prior experience….their dogs ran through decoys, marked downed birds, and brought them back! Fun fun! To all of the volunteers… thank you for making it a great day! Have a Chesapeake?!?This is an event you will want to get on your calendar for the spring of 2025 (April 26).
Thanks all!!

When competing in advanced the dog has to retrieve a bumper from behind a blind, Slammer’s last retrieve in each trial he jumped over the blind instead of going around then jumped back over with the bumper in his mouth. The crowd applauded his great runs. Thanks to Anne De Roo and Three Hounds Training for this awesome event. B/O/T/H by John and JoAnn Stancer of Sand Spring Chesapeakes, Cambria WI.

AKC Fetch Titles x 3
On February 1st the AKC started its new Fetch performance event. February 17th, Scent Work Club of Central Wisconsin hosted the first Fetch Novice test in Wisconsin. Sand Spring and Crawfish thought it would be fun to enter this event since of course we own retrievers and fetching is what they love to do. Tom Pawlisch was judging the event, so I handled his two dogs Carmelita and Dieter along with my dog Slammer to their fetch novice titles. What an amazing day it was to title three Chesapeakes in this new venue. Slammer’s judges were Tom Pawlisch and Paula Kropidlowski. Carmelita and Dieter’s judges were George Deering and Paula Kropidlowski. You need to pass two events under two different judges to title. You must start out at the novice level and work your way up to the highest level, which is retriever. This is an up-and-coming event for all breeds and participants, a fun event to do with your pal.

Sand Spring Year In Review 2023
As we end 2023 I want to reflect back on the year and share with you what we have been up too.
Starting off in January Gertie received her AKC Rally Advanced title. We did virtual videos, we needed to pass three courses.
In February Slammer and I completed his UKC Conformation Grand Show Champion with a Total dog to boot! This makes his 6th Total dog pass.
In April Slammer became a dad again to a lovely litter of pups born to Ruby. 7 more kids out there.
April 22nd was the ACC WI Chessie Fun day held at our home (Stancerville). People and their chessies came from all over the US again. It was a fun filled day. We are always thankful for the beautiful day we are given with so many wonderful friends. This couldn’t happen without everyone chipping in.
In May Slammer and John passed their first AKC Master Hunter test.
While JoAnn got to take a trip to Vegas with her friend Jodie. We had a wonderful trip, we saw so many things and places. We put on 90,000 steps while there, we got around! A special moment during the trip was when I brought my friend Susie back to Vegas to be laid to rest. She passed away 9 years ago and her last wish was for me to take her ashes to Vegas and spread them at the place where Susie took me to Vegas for my first time. It was so bitter sweet. I miss her dearly and she is pulling the one arm bandit all day long.
Another very special memory from my time in Vegas will stay with me forever as it is permanently on my arm for me to each each day. I designed a tattoo and had an artist at H & H tattoo company apply it.
The paw print is Guilty’s, the heartbeat is her actual heartbeat, the outline is her and the cattails are actual cattails that I got when I put her great grandfather Norman to sleep. Her memory lives on.
The end of June W.A.C.K.O. club hosted a Elite Shed Dog event at Stancerville. It was a three day event. Slammer and Gertie passed each day. On the second day Slammer received a 3rd place. Slammer has 65/100 and Gertie 30/100 points needed for their champion titles.
In July Slammer and John passed their second AKC Master Hunter test.
Slammer also became a dad for the fourth time. Dicca and him had a litter of 11 pups which kept Dicca’s owners on their toes.
August was a productive month. Slammer and John passed their 3rd AKC Master Hunter test.
September started out the busy month by JoAnn going Bear hunting with a friends brother and his bear hound dogs. I was successful the first morning I went out.
My friend Kim S talked me into showing Slammer in AKC conformation. I couldn’t show the first day so Kim showed Slammer, I then received a text stating that Slammer went WD/BOB for a 3 point major. To say I was surprised was an understatement. Host clubs were the Greater Racine Kennel Club and the Cudahy Kennel Club.
The second day of the show I showed Slammer and we received WD/BOB for another 3pt major. This guy was on a roll.
September was the month I had been working all year for. The ACC National Field Trial Specialty was being held in Stoughton, WI. I was one of the committee members to make this happen. It was such a great 4 days. The chair-cochair, committee members, volunteers all did an amazing job. I was happy to be apart of this event.
Right after the NFT John and Gertie headed to Saskatchewan for a week of snow goose hunting. They had a great time with their friends. Hoping this next year I can get back into going.
While John was in Canada I went to another dog show with Slammer. This show was hosted by the Sheboygan Kennel Club. He received a second and a RW.
The end of September I entered another dog show this time with Riggs. Host club was Rockford-Freeport Kennel Club. Riggs was 1st and then WD for his first 3pt major. On the second day he was 2nd/RW.
The end of October I hit a three day dog show with Slammer again. Host clubs were the Kenosha Kennel Club and Skokie Valley Kennel Club. The first day Slammer went 1st/wd/boboh for his 3rd 3pt major. The second day he went 1st/RW. The third day he went 1st/WD for his 4th 3pt major. He’s on fire!
We ended the show season of 2023 with 4 majors, 12 points and NOHS Bronze with 10 points. Unbelievable!!
October we started guiding at Lone Oak Shooting preserve again along with regular hunting. The dogs are having fun picking up birds. Gambler at 12.5 years and Glory at 12 years are still hunting and doing a great job at it. I have to scream a little louder as they are deaf but they get the job done.
Through out the year Gambler, Glory, Slammer and Gertie visited Clearview Health Campus once a week doing pet therapy. Bringing smiles to the residents.
The middle of December Slammer and I went to another Elite Shed Dog event. He timed out the first day, passed the second day and had to scratch the third day as I was called to go bobcat hunting. He now has 75/100 points to earn his champion shed dog title.
John and I both had bobcat tags, John drove me up to Sheldon, WI to hunt with the same peeps who took me bear hunting. John happened to be near the cat before I got there so he tagged it. There wasn’t another chance for me to hunt as it hadn’t snowed again before the season closed. We hunted with hound dogs and what a trip it is to witness another breed hunting.
Gambler got the privilege to hunt with his Boykin buddy Ted one last time. Gambler is 12.5 years and Ted is going on 14 years with walking disabilities. They have been hunting together a couple times during the pheasant season for the past 10 years. Gambler doesn’t play well with others but he respects Ted and it’s amazing to watch these two dogs work together to get the job done. I always have fun watching the Boykins hunt and hunting under them. Thank you Ted for many hunts with Gambler.
Bruce was able to snap this photo of Gambler and I walking side by side hunting. When Gambler’s dad Norman was 12 years old John snapped a photo of Norman and I walking side by side at Lone Oak Shooting Preserve. I now have to favorite photos of me and my pals.
Shank is Shank and has been visiting the Vet School every 3-4 months to have her cataracts evaluated. She is on daily medication and her eyes are stable. She is a fun loving little gal that doesn’t know she has a problem. Bones is her buddy as she is always stalking him and trying to play with him. He is still going strong with his megaesophagus with not having any health issues from it.
We had a uneventful Christmas and New Year.
This brings Sand Spring Chesapeakes 2023 to a close. We had a fun filled year with hoping more fun and accomplishments in 2024. We hope you all had the year you wanted and hope you have a happy, healthy and safe 2024. We will be seeing you!
