Charlie can run full speed through a room fulla toddlers and glass figurines and gracefully worm his way through, not touching one thing
Cadee on the other hand would plow through the room like a bull dozer, running over every toddler and smashing every piece of glass.

That's what being a Chestapeake is all about. When I had my first Chessie, Bud, my hunting partner, Bill, had a sweet little Lab, Char, and the two couldn't have been an odder pairing. Bill and I frequently hunted flooded rice stubble in waders, by sitting in the water with a levee for a back rest and its grass pulled around and over us for concealment. Initially, Bill would pull grass over Char, too, but she was so sharp that she soon learned the drill and started rooting her own way under it. Mr. Bud, on the other hand, made a project of seeing how much of the levee he could roll flat.

I just thought it was a female thing. I have a bigger male lab and he is fast and agile. My female is shorter,stockier, bumps into everything but is a better hunter.

My lab could fuck up a sand plant. Seems 50/50 to me with labs.

Don't know that it's "typical," as both Chien and Blue were careful souls. The current coyote, however, was the devil to our little ones:
Until they learned they could boss him around, that is. Then the tables turned.

Chester, while being a bull in a china shop as we'll, is oddly delicate with kids and babies. His mild temperament is shadowed by his ginormous head and body.

My lab is ridiculously gentle with kids and babies. The pit, makes the first string linebackers look like ballerina dancers

Red or Tripod should've gotten a pit a long time ago.

My lab was extremely easy and gentle with kids, on the other hand, his tail was not.
