DESCRIPTION
TEMPERAMENT
Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies and dogs are responsive, industrious, serious and aware. They are hard and diligent workers, willing to swim for a long time to retrieve their game. They are loyal and gentle with children. They can be wary of strangers, and tend to have a sharper personality than the other retrievers. Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies and dogs are training savvy, very responsive. Chessies are intelligent, affectionate with family and happiest in the country. They may react if provoked, and give off a slight odor this isn't unpleasant.
GROOMING
Brush with a firm bristle brush. Bathe only when necessary as the Chesapeake Bay Retrievers coat has a natural waterproofing oil to it.
HEALTH
Hip dysplasia, PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy). Other health concerns include dwarfism, entropion, and epilepsy.
EXERCISE
Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies and dogs will need a great deal of vigorous activity including swimming to maintain peak physical condition.
TRAINING
Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are strong dogs who are territorial and are not recommended for the inexperienced new dog owner. They will need firm training and good management. A consistent, but kind approach is the most successful. Good news, though, Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies and dogs are highly trainable.
