Gerry78 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Have only ever seen one Chesapeake working on a inland lough I used to shoot A big male who was probably the best fowling dog I’ve ever seen retrieving ducks and geese The guy who owns it was a very good dog trainer Speaking to him at the end of flights many mornings he told me that the Chesapeake was a bit harder to train than labradors And he’s did not take well to working with other dogs I myself thought about buying one many moons ago but decided to stick with my fox red labs A lot more forgiving good luck if you decide to buy a Chessie I’m sure if you put the time in you’ll get a fantastic fowling partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 My Chesapeake is 12 now so she only does a bit now and then. She is a great dog who could have been a lot more of a gun dog if I'd had more skill as a trainer, but as it worked out she became a wonderful and much loved companion for the family. Very headstrong at first and needed close supervision (wanting to take off on drives when beating being her favourite quirk) but all in all I wouldnt change a thing about her.

MattyDC Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 No experience of chesapeakes but I'm very interested in getting one as my next dog. I think all dogs have their special behaviours, I've had 3 labs, all totally different characters. 1st was very dog aggressive as he got older, 2nd was a bitch and a bit of a c@nt on the quiet, 3rd is a bitch and she's more or less perfect. So I'm sure Chessies will have thier own little quirks. I'm pretty much made up on the idea of getting 1 in 2-3 yrs time. My comments aren't helpful I know 🙂.

Unfortunately the mateing didn't take but I'm going to wait untill next year now. IMO they are the perfect tool for the job. Mother has a very nice temperament and the Mrs liked them (that alone is worth the wait) she has never been a fan labs 🤷🏽♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The came can be said about about a horse that a horse is too much animal. I was in the Blues and Royals and due to my lack of height I would get put on the big horses for trooping etc. The same horsemanship was needed to control them as the smaller ones. I think you should go for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you miss interpreted what I mean it’s too much dog for the shooting I do you don’t need a thoroughbred race horse if you only need to ride to the shop mum familiar with the blues and royals also their training and the amount they reject to get the ones most suitable for the job 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
