Chesapeakes are first and foremost superb hunting dogs, well known for their love of water. Equally proficient on land and in the water, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was developed along the Chesapeake Bay to hunt waterfowl. With minimum training, he will retrieve geese, duck, quail, partridge, pheasant, snipe, woodcock, rabbit and hare and any other oddity you care to ask of him. They are excellent game finders with a superb nose and remarkable memory for multiple falls. They will not give up easily on a fall and in the case of wounded game, instinct tells them this is the first priority in a retrieve.
