If you’re looking for an athletic, intelligent, loyal companion, look no further than the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. These hardy dogs were bred to withstand the cold icy waters of the coast and to retrieve ducks and other water fowl. Their strong medium-sized bodies are perfect for diving and breaking through ice. They look similar to a lab but with curlier, water resistant hair. Due to the oil that gives their hair the water resistance; they don’t need to be bathed as often which saves a lot of effort in grooming. Since Chesapeake Bay Retrievers were bred to be water dogs, these pups love the water! Whenever the water hose is out at Fetchers you can bet there is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever on the other end. Despite their need for athletic stimulation, they remain gentle and calm in the home and can be very protective over their family. This makes them the perfect addition to the Fetch Family! #sofetch
