Chesapeake Bay Retriever

Sorry to hear that Frank. I had a Chessie / Lab mix. Absolutley the best dog I have ever known. He was huge at 150 lbs in his good days. He was black and had that Chessie curly fur down his back. We had to put him down at 9 years old because of cancer. I wish I could have another one just like him. Now we have 3 little good for nothing dogs, but we love them.

We had friends when we lived in Alaska that had Chessies, and you did not just walk up to the door when they were outside, even if you knew them. The breed is fiercly loyal to ONE owner. Just the way they are.
