> [@Bullitt](#): > > “Chessie”, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever Growing up on the shores of Chesapeake Bay, I heard _Chessie_ used to refer to a sea monster(from Nessie for the Loch Ness monster), and the cat-like logo of the C&O Railroad(from The Chessie System conglomerate), - never the retriever. But I’ve been away for a few decades - is that a thing now? **Dog Breeds** 1. Airedale 2. Dachshund 3. Bulldog 4. “Chessie”, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever 5. Beagle 6. Poodle 7. Collie 8.
