Is there a difference between Chocolate Labs and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers?

I have a chocolate lab, her mom was black and her dad was chocolate, and there were all three colours in the litter. I remember hearing about the wavy fur on the back being a Chesapeake trait but Hailey has that on her. Does anyone know the difference?

Its a completely different breed. The biggest difference is the curly coated hair. The hair is very oily so that the dog dries off quickly (much like how a ducks feathers are)

Every breed is different from one another. Chessies have a rougher coat than Labs do, not by much, but just a bit. Plus they have curls and their personalities are different. Here's a Chessie: Chesapeake Bay Retriever Information and Pictures, Chessies, Chessy Dog, Chessy Dogs

And here's the Lab: Labrador Retriever Information and Pictures, Labs

Yes they're different as any breed is. The Chessie has more of a, not wiry, but rougher (I guess) coat than the Lab's only because of the curls. But don't think rough as in the terriers, I just mean more so than the Lab's coat.
