Chesapeake Bay Retriever
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever, developed in the United States during the 19th century, was historically used for hunting, pulling fishnets, and rescuing fishers. This breed is known for its happy disposition, intelligence, and affection towards people. Some dogs tend to be quite vocal when happy, and some will 'smile' in a peculiar grin typical to the Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. In addition, due to their intelligence and high trainability, this breed excels in various activities like hunt tests, obedience, agility, and tracking. All in all, this breed is a perfect pet for active families looking for an affectionate dog.
