dogs love swimming they are just made for it with their thick oily double coat
and strong tail which is used as a rudder. You should include swimming to
the exercise routine there is not many other things that will make a Chessie
happier then a good swim. Number three around strangers - this is not a typical
all the time friendly social and welcoming retriever as you might expect

thing when they are working as hunters and retrievers which is their original
purpose. They will just look nonstop for the fallen game until they find it. They

companions. You can also try some dog sport with them for example field trials
flyball rally or agility. Number six maintenance this is quite low

not bath them very often since the oil in the coat should be maintained also

that. Number seven children - this is a great companion for all the kids who now
