Description
Dog Breed: Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Meet Delilah! She is a very smart 3 year old that is very loyal to her humans. She is completely friendly with strangers, gives lots of kisses, and adores anybody who will throw her ball. Fetch is her favorite thing ever, she drops the ball right at your feet when she wants it to be thrown, and lays down and waits. She also knows sit and is learning new tricks! She loves water so it would be great if she could find a pool or head to the beach. She’s a larger dog (around 90lbs) so we would recommend older kids only. She loves being around her humans and smelling all the new smells. She’s great in the car and is a good beach/hiking companion. Interested in adopting this pet?

Overview:
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever, often affectionately called a "Chessie," is a robust and intelligent breed originating from the Chesapeake Bay area of the United States in the 19th century. Bred specifically for retrieving waterfowl in harsh, icy conditions, they possess a distinctive dense, oily, and wavy coat that provides excellent insulation. Physically, they are powerful dogs with a broad head, strong jaws, and a characteristic otter-like tail, typically weighing between 55-80 pounds. Their temperament is known for being courageous, affectionate, and protective of their families, though they can be reserved with strangers. While generally good with children and active families, their high energy levels and need for consistent training mean they are not well-suited for apartment living and thrive with ample outdoor space. Regarding health, Chessies are generally hardy but can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and sometimes bloat, making responsible breeding and regular vet check-ups important for their well-being.
