Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) / Chesapeake Bay Retriever / Mixed. Looking for a smart, energetic companion who’s always ready for adventure? Meet Lucy, a stunning 4 year old, 55-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Poodle mix with the loyalty of a guardian and the heart of a hunter. Lucy thrives in the great outdoors—she loves stretching her legs in a secure, fenced yard and would be happiest in a home where she has space to run. True to her retriever instincts, she’s highly prey-driven and finds joy in chasing squirrels and rabbits. A country home or an active family who appreciates her strong hunting drive would be ideal. She’s deeply loyal and protective of her people. Due to her protective nature, Lucy would be most successful in a home without children. Lucy is crate trained, fully house trained, and knows how to settle down indoors after a good run outside. She does have a dominant personality and will try to assert herself around other dogs—so a home with no other dogs is necessary. Lucy loves to be around her people, enjoying scratches around her neck and ears. She'll often lay her head on your lap and gaze adoringly up at her people. Lucy has been working on her leash walking and has made incredible progress in recent weeks. She also follows basic commands well and has the potential to improve even more with continued positive reinforcement and training. What Lucy Needs: • A fenced yard (non-negotiable—she will chase wildlife) • An active household or outdoor-loving individual • Someone who understands and respects her prey drive • A home without small pets or livestock • A family without other dogs • An experienced dog owner who can provide structure and continued training A home without young children. She is currently fostered with children as young as nine, and does well, but does not do well with younger children. Lucy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and ready to meet her forever person. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent dog with a bold spirit, Lucy may be your perfect match. Available for adoption starting 5/11/2025 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL#16182

Breed overview
Overview:
The Chesa-Poo is a charming hybrid breed, resulting from a cross between the intelligent Standard Poodle and the robust Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Originating from the desire to blend the Poodle's hypoallergenic coat and sharp mind with the Chessie's affectionate nature and working drive, this designer dog typically inherits a wavy to curly coat that can range in color from brown to black, often with the distinctive Chessie "deadgrass" hue. Physically, they are medium to large dogs, possessing an athletic build suited for activity. Temperamentally, Chesa-Poos are generally intelligent, loyal, and energetic, making them excellent companions for active families. Their energy levels mean they thrive with regular exercise and mental stimulation, making them less suitable for small apartment living unless adequately exercised. While generally healthy, potential health concerns include those common to both parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and certain eye conditions. Prospective owners should be prepared for a devoted and trainable canine partner.
