I had a female Chesapeake 30 years ago.
Buff was an amazing retriever. She would dive 6-10 below the surface to get a duck or dummy. Could mark 3 ducks down, and would NOT give up on a lost bird.
She would only release a duck or goose to me and would growl at anyone that attempted to take a bird from her. With me she was affectionate as any dog that I have ever owned, but if anyone else called her name, she would look in the exact opposite direction and not move.
