Summary
About Skye Terrier
Skye Terriers are long, low terriers from Scotland with a straight, floor-length double coat. Bred to hunt fox and badger, they are calm, loyal and often bond closely with one person. Reserved with strangers, they need moderate exercise, regular grooming, and thoughtful, positive training.
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.
