In 1964, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was named the state dog of Maryland. The history of the breed dates back to 1807. Two Newfoundland dogs (Sailor and Canton) were rescued from a ship. These two dogs were later bred to local coon hounds and retrievers.
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the official mascot for the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is also known as Chessie. The breed is well known for their prowess in rough and icy waters. Their colors are brown, sedge, or deadgrass.
