Very nice pics! This thread isn't right, makes me think:

And if your dog nips ya in the thigh because you took too much time lining her up for the blind.... you may have a Chesapeake!

What would that Chessie do if I started laughing and gave him the noogie he so richly deserves?

Honestly once you reached down to give him that noogie your hand would be in and back out of his mouth before you realized it. For some reason when anyone goes up to pet him he always puts his mouth around thier hand or arm. He doesnt bite you but the slobber is annoying. Then he would lay on his back and hoped you would rub his belly like in this picture or kinda sit next to you and lean into you pushing your hand with is head. How mean can a dog be that gets beat up by a 10 week old boxer.

I really enjoyed this thread. I am the only Chesapeake owner I know as there are very few over here in the UK, so I don’t have anyone to compare with. Some of these comments really made me smile

Especially this

If it makes up weird games to entertain itself, plays in its water bucket

My Chessie bitch gets hours of entertainment from her water bucket :)

And this

A proper Chesapeake has presence

I think there is a dignity about my Chesapeake that is hard to describe, but is so very different from my labs. More ‘serious’. She is much more sensitive too, tough yet soft all in one. A contradiction in terms

I had heard that Chessies can be less socialble than labs and I put a lot of effort into socialising mine. Including, when she was small, getting all visitors to make sure they had something for her in their pockets when they arrived

Now, when my labs greet visitors they want to be stroked and fussed

When my chessie greets visitors she wants to know what is in their pockets. If their pockets are empty she will look straight at them as if to say ‘when are you leaving’ She is quite polite about it, but not a bit interested in having her ears fiddled with by strangers.

"Speaking of the devil..." Pippa, I took a fit to see how your UK hunt testing project and site were doing yesterday, but couldn't come up with the right word combo to Google it. Have a link?

Its going well, the first three grades which are tests of basic ob are up and running. We are just about to launch our retriever grade 4 which will probably be somewhat similar to your junior hunt test -

We've got a few people taking the tests in the US too

Its www.thegundogclub.co.uk
