The Complete Guide to Chesapeake Bay Retrievers: Training, Socializing, Feeding, Exercising, Caring for, and Loving Your New Chessie Puppy
Written by experienced Chessie owner and author Karen Harris, this truly is a "Complete Guide" to owning a Chesapeake Bay Retriever!

Containing answers to all the questions you have (and many you probably haven't even known to ask), this book covers everything from selecting the right Chessie for your family to caring for your senior Chessie in their golden years. Topics include:

Finding the right breeder or rescue
Chessie proofing your home
Socialization and Training
Chessies as Hunting dogs
Nutrition and Health Care
Dealing with common Chessie behavioral issues
Traveling with a large dog
Common Chessie health issues
Senior Chessie care

The rugged, all-American cousin of the more popular Golden and Labrador Retrievers, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is just as intelligent, and athletic as Labs, but can be more focused, more serious, and less playful than its cousins.

A protective companion that is eager to please and willing to work hard, Chessies are loyal, confident, and friendly. Bred to help hunters retrieve ducks from the icy waters of the Chesapeake Bay, the Chessie, as it is affectionately called, has one of the most interesting origin stories of all dog breeds. Although still the breed of choice for duck hunters, more and more people are discovering that the superior qualities of the Chessie make them a great family dog.

Strong and stout, Chessies have the same compassionate eyes as Labs and Goldens and the same inquisitive ears. Their brown coats are thick, wavy, and oily, ideal for repelling the droplets from their namesake body of water.

Whether you are just now discovering the wonderful Chesapeake Bay Retriever or are a longtime Chessie fan, this book will serve as a practical guide for all things Chessie. With chapters on exercise and nutrition, training and discipline, and health and safety, this book is your ideal guide to help you navigate the Chessie world from puppyhood to the golden years. Armed with the information in this book, you will be prepared to give your Chessie the best quality of life and, in return, you will get a loving and loyal companion and best friend.
