The Chesapeake Bay Dog 331 



Colour. Nearly resembling wet sedge grass, though toward spring it 

 becomes lighter by exposure to the weather. A small spot or frill on breast 

 is admissible. Colour is important, as the dog in most cases is apt to be 

 outside the blind, consequently too dark is objectionable; the deep liver 

 of the spaniel, making much deeper contrast, is to be avoided. 



Weight. Should be about 60 pounds, too large a dog being unwieldy 

 and lacking quickness of movement. Bitches are usually smaller than the 

 dogs, but not necessarily so.
