I have owned a chessie for 10 years. I also own two labs.
Chesapeakes are a breed that look like a lab but are different
to them. They are a much, much harder breed. Immensely strong
and mentally tough. They are harder to train than labs or
Springers They are very loyal, and can be fiercely loyal. They
can be aggressive, especially if another dog is stupid enough to
challenge them.
No for the faint hearted. I won't be getting another but will
stick to labs.

Forgot to say there is a UK Chesapeake Club and they have a
website. I got mine from Wales,but there is a guy down south -
His name is on Chessie site. Be careful who you buy from as they
can be inbred here. Then the aggression gets out of hand.

No problems. Mine doesn't start fights but he has certainly
finished a few. The potential for aggression was not something I
worried to much about until I got one and realised how strong
they are.
That said, he has never shown aggression against people. He is
strictly a one man dog. There is only one person above him in
the pecking order - everyone else is below him. I got in bother
one day on a rare outing to a pheasant shoot when he felt the
need to piss on the shoot captain's wellies, and later on the
same man's Springer!
