I'm a Chessie owner.
Back in the days of the Basque whalers they brought a dog with them to the waters around Newfoundland and Labrador. It was more directly related to the present Portuguese water dog. From it have come the following breeds: The Newfoundland dog, the Labrador Retriever, the present Portuguese water dog and the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Two of those dogs were in a ship that was wrecked off the Chesapeake Bay, natch, and they were bred into the present Chessies.
Check any web page of any Chessie association and you will find that 'history'.
