About Chesapeake Bay Retrievers

The Chesapeake Bay Retriever originated in the early 19th century along the Chesapeake Bay, where it was bred to retrieve waterfowl in harsh, icy waters. The breed's ancestors include Newfoundlands and various retrievers, resulting in a strong, resilient dog with a thick, water-resistant coat. Chessies were highly valued by market hunters for their endurance, intelligence, and exceptional retrieving abilities. Over time, they became known not only as skilled working dogs but also as loyal companions, and in 1918, the American Kennel Club officially recognized the breed.
