Chesapeake bay retrievers originated because of a shipwreck. Two Labrador retrievers were on the ship and they bred with the local retrievers on the place where they wrecked.
CORRECTION: Chessies are NOT related to of have any part of Labrador in them! The two dogs on the ship that were saved were Newfoundlands or St John's Water Dogs. Later to strengthen the breed they were mixed with hounds and spaniels. Not labradors...ever.

What was the Chesapeake Bay Retriever first bred for?
In the winter of 1807, an English ship with two Newfoundlands on board wrecked off the coast of Maryland. Everyone was saved, and the two dogs were given to a family of dog lovers. They were later mated with local retrievers including English Otter Hounds, Flat-Coated Retrievers and Curly-Coated Retrievers. Careful breeding over the years has created an outstanding retriever with incredible enthusiasm and endurance. The dogs were used to hunt waterfowl in rough and icy waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever has been known to retrieve hundreds of birds in a single day in frigid waters. This lively, enthusiastic hunter will come out of a river or marsh with only a few drops of water remaining on its oily coat, and these are quickly eliminated with a shake. Water rolls off the dog like a duck. Some of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever's talents include: tracking, hunting, retrieving, guarding, watchdog, schutzhund, field spots and competitive obedience. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever was recognized by the AKC in 1878.
