Synopsis
Once known as the Chesapeake Bay Ducking Dog and the Gunpowder River Dog, today's Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a strong, powerfully built hunting dog, capable of retrieving waterfowl under the most adverse water and weather conditions. Developed in Maryland, USA, the Chessie, as his many fans call him, delights owners with his non-stop work ethic as well as with his bright, happy disposition. Whether a family is seeking a hunting dog, a home companion and watchdog or a trainable, if somewhat stubborn, performance dog, the Chessie proves a brilliant, even 'ducky', choice.

Few Gundog breeds can boast a history as colourful as the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, beginning with a shipwreck in stormy seas off the coast of Maryland, USA, and two rescued Newfoundland pups who became legends in the Chesapeake Bay area for their extraordinary feats of courage while retrieving wounded waterfowl. Today the 21st-century descendants of those original 'Chesapeake Bay Ducking Dogs' still retrieve with the same prowess and tenacity as their fabled ancestors. The breed's ancestry dates back to 1739, with reports of powerful and courageous dogs that retrieved great numbers of shot game from the rough and icy waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Documents from that time tell us about fearless retrieving exploits performed by dogs called water spaniels, a type of dog considered by some historians to be of Spanish origin. In that single respect, all retriever breeds, including the Chesapeake, may share a common ancestry, being descendants of those Spanish dogs.
