Do Chesapeakes Like Water?

This is a question I hear often. Yes. It is true. The majority of Chesapeakes have an unusual profound love for the water. They not only love to swim, frolic and play in it but they have this uncanny way of smelling it as well. This can get them, especially puppies, into trouble when they get into toilets, sinks, dishwashers and every little puddle they can find. Once, when my girl, Jessie, was a puppy she literally cleaned a toilet bowl dry. Bone. Dry. She isn’t the first and she won’t be the last Chesapeake to do this.

If you cannot understand  and accept this desire in Chessies, then it probably isn’t the breed for you.
