Welcome to Shoreline Chessies!
It takes a tough dog to hunt waterfowl in the rough and icy shores of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever--nicknamed the Chessie — was born for these tough conditions. The Chessie is believed to be descended from two Newfoundland puppies — Sailor and Canton--who survived a shipwreck in the area in 1807. They had great retrieving qualities and were bred to local dogs. The result was this brown dog with a thick, water-shedding coat, a bright and happy disposition, and intelligence and courage. Shoreline Chessies was founded in 2018 from the love of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and the desire to produce high quality Chessie merchandise.
