Sappic Bay in the United States was formed by coastal subsidence in the lower estuarine zone of the Susquehanna River and its tributaries. It is bounded on the south by Virginia and on the neighboring part by Maryland, which was earlier inhabited by the Chesapeake Indians. It is said that in the early 19th century, a European shipwrecked in the Chesapeake Bay, thanks to the rescue of local Indians, only out of danger, the people on board to thank for saving their lives, will be on board some of the European breeds of dogs and hunting dogs to the Indians. Afterwards, the Indians mated these dogs with the local native dogs and bred the Chesapeake Bay Retriever with the ability to swim. According to the analysis of canine books, the dogs on the ship at that time were probably Newfoundlands and English Hounds.
