The Chesapeake Bay Retriever, also known as Chessie, boasts a unique and distinct coat, which means these dogs really stand out in a crowd. They are large, compact hunting dogs with an interesting pedigree. They are very energetic, making them best suited to owners who lead busy outdoor lives, and to households where one member of the family usually stays at home when everyone else is out, so the dogs are never left to their own devices for long periods of time.
