Summary
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.
About Barbet
The Barbet is an ancient French water dog, medium-sized and sturdy, with a dense woolly low-shedding coat. Cheerful and people-focused, it thrives on family life, regular grooming, and active exercise, excelling in water work and dog sports, but remains a relatively rare breed.
