Chesapeake Bay Retriever Versus Sloughi: Introduction

Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Sloughi better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Sloughi.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Sloughi is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and for the Sloughi. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Sloughi.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Chesapeake Bay Retriever or the Sloughi.
Chesapeake Bay Retriever versus Sloughi: Overview
A very important difference between the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Sloughi is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a medium-sized dog while the Sloughi is a large-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 Sloughi belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.
Chesapeake Bay Retriever versus Sloughi: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Chesapeake Bay Retriever to the Sloughi 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 Sloughi

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Chesapeake Bay Retriever in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Sloughi. 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 Sloughi is 79 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Sloughi is a better pet than the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. So, you should get the Sloughi!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Sloughi so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

Health Problems of Chesapeake Bay Retriever versus Health Problems of Sloughi
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 Sloughi 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 Sloughi.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Chesapeake Bay Retriever than for the Sloughi.
8 health tests are recommended for Chesapeake Bay Retriever while 6 tests are recommended for the Sloughi.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and in Sloughis.
Chesapeake Bay Retriever Health Problems
Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.

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.
