Championship Breeders take pride in their Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy.  They test and obtain certifications that their Chesapeake Bay Retriever females are free from defects such as Hip Dysplasia and eye problems that may effect your Chesie years later if the puppy inherits a problem.  Championship Breeders make certain that Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are bred to Championship dogs that conform to the AKC Chesapeake Bay Retriever standards for the breed.  They take pride in the puppies that they sell and they attempt to make certain that the homes that they place the puppy in will be homes that will enjoy owning a Chesapeake.   They work to improve the breed.   The breed is a rugged breed that is meant to stand the roughest hunting conditions for serious duck, goose and pheasant work in the foulest weather.  Breeders work to produce friendly non aggressive family members.   It costs to breed to championship Chesapeake Bay Retriever males and their puppy is slightly more expensive.  This will be your family member for 10-15 years and it  is worth an investment. 

Puppy Mills Many pet stores will sell puppies from puppy mills these are kennels that cage the mothers in small areas and feed them only to produce a puppy.  They often force the females to have large litters with fertility drugs and the puppy is sold through pet outlets.  Often these puppy mills are closed for abuse reasons however owners simply move their operation to another area and reopen it.  Buying a puppy from such an operation is a very poor investment.
