Let us introduce you to our Chesapeake Bay Retriever - her name is Chessie, she is three years old. We got her at 3 months old and she is a member of our family. As all breeds and each dog have their individual traits we are still even now finding out how normal all her antics are, the breed is known as the Brown Clowns, she is one. If she meets us with a toy in her mouth, chances are she has done something she knows is wrong. A friend of ours compared us to the "19 and counting", as we have such an assortment. Now we have chickens too.
