Summary
About Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retrievers are medium‑large, athletic, friendly dogs with a strong swimming ability and short, dense, water‑repellent coats in yellow, black, or chocolate. Intelligent and food‑motivated, they train easily, need daily exercise and mental work, and are widely used as family and working dogs.
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.
