Bull in a china cabinet

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.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

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:

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.
