Chesapeake Bay Retriever (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series) - $9.12
Once known as the Chesapeake Bay Ducking Dog and the Gunpowder River Dog, today’s Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a strong, powerfully built hunting dog, capable of retrieving waterfowl under the most adverse water and weather conditions. Developed in the State of Maryland, the Chessie, as his many fans call him, delights owners with his non-stop work ethic, which is only matched by his dynamic personality and desire to please his owner. Whether a family is seeking a hunting dog, home companion or watchdog, the Chessie proves to be a fabulous, even "ducky," choice. Written by well-respected American retriever authority and breeder, Nona Kilgore Bauer, this book provides the much needed, up-to-date information about the breed, from its origins on the Maryland shores, to its breed characteristics, both positive and negative, and breed standard, as well as discussion of puppy selection, feeding, health care and behavior. New owners will welcome the author’s advice about housebreaking and obedience training the brilliant, if somewhat stubborn, Chessie.

| Dara : Autobiography of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever - $16.95
As befits a pedigreed member of her sporty and intelligent breed, Dara, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, was born in the lap of luxury. Growing up on an estate on the Chesapeake Bay, she suffers the tragic loss of her human Mother, an event that launches her on an odyssey of adventure, neglect, abuse and fear. That journey leads to an animal shelter, then to a cage--the one with an X on it. Rescued from a sure death at the eleventh hour, Dara embarks on a new life with her human Mom (and literary collaborator). Told in a persuasively canine voice, this dramatic story reveals the minds and souls of a magnificent dog and her compassionate owner. Their humanity and largeness of spirit will warm the hearts of readers of all ages. All profits will be donated to Dara's Canine Foundation Inc. to support adoption programs in animal shelters.
