The reason why the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is called the Chesapeake bay retriever is because they used to hunt waterfowl ( especially ducks) in the Chesapeake Bay. The retriever part, is part of the name because when they hunted they would swim over to the dead duck and bring it the person who killed it. That's called retrieving.
