The Chesapeake Bay Retriever originated as a water dog used to hunt and retrieve ducks in the chilly chop of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. The dog's sturdy build, dense coat, stamina, and strength made him ideal for this purpose. Today, he's still known as a fine hunting dog as well as a wonderful companion for active, experienced dog owners who can give him the structure and exercise he needs.
