Chesapeakes were first bred on the East Coast of America at Chesapeake Bay. Originally, hunting was the first line of duty for the Chesapeake. Their thick, short oily outer coat and dense, fine woolly undercoat protect them when working and retrieving in the icy cold waters of Chesapeake Bay. Because of the rough conditions they were bred to be tough, independent, hearty and good-natured companions.
