Just a note on Roger Pinckney’s Dog article, good story, but I fail to understand the various comments from various writers about Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. I think most of these negative stories sometimes come from people who may have had an experience with these incredibly brave dogs that was not exactly positive, but seem to lump all Chesapeake’s into one negative aspect, I sometimes think they have had very little knowledge of the breed overall. I just seem to read this type of article too often.
