Are Chesapeake Bay Retrievers good with cats?

Yes, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are usually good with cats. This is a polite breed, but due to their hunting background, they also possess a strong prey drive that makes them more inclined to chase smaller animals, including cats. Of course, each dog (and cat) has their own preferences and temperament, and early socialization is key to a positive relationship between a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and a cat. If properly socialized and/or introduced at a young age, you can feel confident your Chesapeake Bay Retriever and feline family member should get along just fine.
