by weight of dog and container. Chesabar will supply a shipping
crate with the understanding that you will return the crate.
A crate can be returned via UPS for about $10.00. Dogs are insured
for $1000-2000 depending upon length of the trip.
4. How does weather
and temperature effect shipping a dog?
Shipping regulations for the airlines
state that no puppy may be shipped if the temperature is lower
than 32 degrees. Similarly, no puppy may be shipped if the temperature
is above 85 degrees. Our breeder will make every effort to get
a flight which fits the conditions of the puppy. We try to get
a non-stop, no lay-over, flight whenever possible.
5. How much do females
and males compare in size?
Generally, males are taller and weigh
more than females. Most females stand between 21"-24"
tall and weigh 65 to 72 pounds. Males stand between 24"-25"
tall and weigh 75 to 95 pounds.
6. Do you recommend
a female or a male?
Either makes a wonderful dog. Let
your heart tell you what you want.
7. Is a male or female
the best family dog?
Both male and female Chesabar dogs
are excellent with children. Generally, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever
is protective of the environment in which they are raised.
It is very important for all puppies to be socialized in order
for them to become acquainted with their surroundings.

10. Do you recommend
showing dogs purchased from Chesabar?
Patsy Barber answers this question
like this: "Although I have been breeding and showing dogs
for 18 years I don't push that you show dogs. If you have an
interest in showing, or getting the dog's championship, I'm more
than willing to help you show your dog to its championship."
11. Do you give
a guarantee on your puppies?
A two year guarantee is given on
all puppies sold for hips and eyes.
"The most important
thing to the Chesabar family is that you love the dog and give
it a good home."
