I was channel surfing while watching the football game and came upon
The National Dog Show and they were featuring the dog Marcel recommended
for you The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.....uhhhh maybe there is
a message there for you.....Wow, they must be making Chessies smaller
these days, My girl Taffy weighed a good 70 pounds back in the day and
she was not fat. She also was not well behaved!!!!!!!!! The only dog I
have ever had that I could not get anywhere with. I know you are an
excellent trainer, want a Chessie, and will do fine if you find the
little one you want or your husband wants.....Good Luck

The same dog show I was watching did the little bio about each dog and
when they were doing the Chessie they described how their undercoat does
not get wet and that they have so much natural oil/lanolin. The
announcer went on to say that his grandfather used to say when you see
an oil spot it usually means an old car was parked there or a Chessie
laid there. Is their any truth to that story? My Chessie could shake
the water off back in the day rather easily but I don't recall her being
oily????
