Chesapeake Bay Retriever Information

A strong, smart dog, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever exhibits all of the things that make retrievers so beloved. They’re loyal, happy and easy to train. The big difference between the Chesapeake and other retrievers, however, is that this breed is more emotionally complex, with an exceptionally strong tie to their family and a highly perceptive nature.

Chesapeake pups stand out for their wavy coat, which is waterproof and a little oily. The color runs on the spectrum from tan to red to brown, complementing the breed’s yellow-amber eyes. Additionally, “Chessies” are natural athletes and make great hunting dogs.
