Chesapeake Bay Retriever versus Glen of Imaal Terrier

Chesapeake Bay Retriever versus Glen of Imaal Terrier: Overview

A very important difference between the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Glen of Imaal Terrier is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a medium-sized dog while the Glen of Imaal Terrier is a tiny-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever belongs to the Sporting Dogs group. Sporting Dogs were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game. Some sporting dog breeds such as Retrievers, which were built for swimming, were bred to hunt waterfowl in water. Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.

On the other hand, the Glen of Imaal Terrier belongs to the Terrier Dogs group. Terrier Dogs were originally bred to go underground to hunt rodents and other small wild animals (vermin). Terriers come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, but all terriers are energetic, highly intelligent, and territorial. Terries also have the tendency to escape. They require a securely fenced yard.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever versus Glen of Imaal Terrier: Comparison Table

The table below compares the Chesapeake Bay Retriever to the Glen of Imaal Terrier based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets

Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.

However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Glen of Imaal Terrier

We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.

    The Better-Pet score for the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is 65 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Glen of Imaal Terrier is 83 out of 125.

    Health Problems of Chesapeake Bay Retriever versus Health Problems of Glen of Imaal Terrier

    Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.

    Both the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Glen of Imaal Terrier are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.

    The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.

    Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is prone to more genetic health problems than the Glen of Imaal Terrier.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Chesapeake Bay Retriever than for the Glen of Imaal Terrier.

    8 health tests are recommended for Chesapeake Bay Retriever while 4 tests are recommended for the Glen of Imaal Terrier.

    Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and in Glen of Imaal Terriers.

    Chesapeake Bay Retriever Health Problems

    Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are genetically prone to certain health problems.

    The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.

    If you want a Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Chesapeake Bay Retriever breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed.

    Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems.

Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
