Bay Retriever Breed Standard

Sporting Group
General Appearance
Equally proficient on land and in the water, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever
was developed along the
Chesapeake Bay to hunt waterfowl under the most adverse
weather and water conditions, often having to break ice during the
course of
many strenuous multiple retrieves. Frequently the
Chesapeake
must face wind, tide and long cold swims in its work. The breed's
characteristics are specifically suited to enable the
Chesapeake
to function with ease, efficiency and endurance. In head, the Chesapeake's
skull is broad and round with a medium stop. The jaws should be of
sufficient length and strength to carry large game birds with an easy,
tender hold. The double coat consists of a short, harsh, wavy outer coat and
a dense, fine, wooly undercoat containing an abundance of natural oil and is
ideally suited for the icy rugged conditions of weather the
Chesapeake
often works in. In body, the
Chesapeake
is a strong, well-balanced, powerfully built animal of moderate size and
medium length in body and leg, deep and wide in chest, the shoulders built
with full liberty of movement, and with no tendency to weakness in any
feature, particularly the rear. The power though, should not be at the
expense of agility or stamina. Size and substance should not be excessive as
this is a working retriever of an active nature.
Distinctive
features include eyes that are very clear, of yellowish or amber hue,
hindquarters as high or a trifle higher than the shoulders, and a double
coat which tends to wave on shoulders, neck, back and loins only.
The
Chesapeake
is valued for its bright and happy disposition, intelligence, quiet good
sense, and affectionate protective nature. Extreme shyness or extreme
aggressive tendencies are not desirable in the breed either as a gun dog or
companion.
