Summary
About Alpine Dachsbracke
Compact, sturdy Austrian scent hound with a long body, short strong legs and a dense, weather‑resistant red coat. Calm and affectionate at home but driven by a strong hunting instinct, it needs plenty of exercise, nose work and consistent, positive training to thrive.
About Chesapeake Bay Retriever
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a strong American waterfowl retriever with a muscular build and oily, wavy brown double coat for cold waters. Loyal and reserved, it bonds closely with family, needs firm, fair training, and high daily exercise, and is generally robust but prone to joint and eye issues.
