Chesapeake Bay is located on the eastern U.S. coast, north towards Baltimoreu. This is the land of harsh winters, ice water and a large number of migratory birds. Famous writer James Michener describes hunt ducks in this area in his novel "Chesapeake." There were so many birds to be killed en masse, so that brought their dogs, and by 10-20 after a bird rifle fire. Rifles that were used for such a hunt were like small cannons, attached to the boat. These hunters should dogs that were able to bring all these ducks, the first to collect wounded, and one dead.
Is tempting to create a romantic image of how the breed originated natural selection in this rudeness climate, but in all probability, the family occupied by the Bay are carefully breeding chessiee for desired features. Carroll Island Gun Club (hunting club) devotes chessie's in the second half of the 18th century and led the precise geographical books, which are, unfortunately, lost in the fire at the turn of the century, bringing the contribution of the puzzles about the formation of the breed. Members of the club reared chessiee and are chasing them, people came from all sides to see how these dogs are great. It is believed that the breeds that are involved in the creation chessie's, among others, and the pursuer racoons, curly coated retriever, irish water spaniel and seteri. Chesapeake Bay Retriever, or how it abbreviated as "Chessie" cultivated for hunting on the water, by bad weather, often on ice, and tirelessly passing game, with a long and difficult swimming against the stream of ice cold water. Breed characteristics are efficiency, inexhaustibility and ease of conducting business. Skull chessie is a wide and round. Jaw should be long and strong enough that could bite soft catch and bring the big birds. A special feature is their eyes, clear, yellow or amber color, as a strong upper and wavy hair and thick, but fine woolly under hair the shoulders, neck, back and flanks which contains a lot of fat, which is ideal for cold weather, which usually chessie does. Any brown tint, color rush and hay is allowed. Fur is almost no need to maintain, in fact, a lot groominga it destroys. Brush rubber brush once a week is quite enough to make the whole hair was greased, and that would be dragged out the dead hair.
Chessie is a powerful, well-balanced dog is medium-sized (height: males of 58-66 cm, females from 53-61) and capable of running in the middle distances. His chest was deep and wide, shoulders allow considerable freedom of movement. There is no place weaknesses, especially at the rear. According to the standard, back-line must have a high back, usually a little higher than the ridge, ie shoulders. Many prefer this, claiming that these dogs better at work. Chessie had the chance to do on today's breed is not divided on the exhibition and work as a type of code retrievers popular breeds. This is partly because chessie not so large and popular as, for example, labradors and goldens, litters whose number far exceeds the number litters chessie's. It is a very loyal dog with strong protective line, which, considering the great temperament, a great guard, but not the dog to attack, because it will not hurt anyone. Similarly, with regard to his loyalty, a few who will be able to train apart from his family, so it is not recommended that it be sent to someone else that train him. Policy is to chessie and friendly relations towards foreigners, but without affection and love that kept for the owners. They are excellent family dogs and do not like when they are placed in the box away from his family.
Never particularly numerous in the exhibition rings, although it is not difficult to expose, but it's difficult to find a judge who understands the breed. Great in obedience exercises, especially with experienced trainers. Sometimes stubborn, and need little effort to convince them to do on your demands, not their way. Like all retrievers, Chesapeake Bay Retriever dog is active and may become destructive if it is boring and if there is not enough run out. Keep in mind that any activities are not difficult recommended as a dog does not turn at least a year.
