ABOUT US: We are Steve and Tricia King of Pevely, MO (Just south of St. Louis). We have one son named Christian and a 6 year old Chessie named Dakota (pictured above) that we had gotten as a pup from "Dog Gone It Acres" in Maryland. I don't know if they are still around anymore, since their website is gone. I, Steve, have a knack for making "fun themed" websites as a hobby and decided to turn the Chessie page that I've had as a subpage of one of my other websites into a better site. So, I was sittin' around thinkin' up some catchy domain names for this page and since I was browsing MySpace at the time I said, "hmmm, I wonder if MyChessie.com is available". To my surprise it was, hence the rebirth of this updated site. I hope it offers a good resource to all Chessie lovers. I will add to it overtime with content that may be beneficial. There are a lot of good Chessie sites and pages out there. I just hope this page to be an excellent "portal" to ALL of them, providing ease of navigation when surfing Chessie topics.

The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is of American breeding. The Chessie is traced back to two dogs, Sailor and Canton (thought to be Newfoundlands), rescued from a wrecked brig off the shores of Maryland in 1807. These were possibly crossed with English Otterhounds, Flat Coated Retrievers and/or Curly Coated Retrievers. No one really knows for sure which various breeds/crossbreeds figure into the origin of the Chessie. The Chessie is a strong swimmer and widely used for hunting waterfowl in America. They are the duck hunters favorite. Their coat has a thick, short, slightly wavy coat that can be brown, sedge or deadgrass in color. The Chessie has webbed feet, and yellow or Amber eyes. The Chessie is valued for its bright and happy disposition, intelligence, quiet good sense, and affectionate protective nature.
