Does anyones dog swim?

[Petna]

My little Lab ruby loves swimming

[Andie]

Katie will jump in the pool with us!

Last summer was a "no dogs in the pool" summer so I don't really know if Bull like to swim I'll try him in the river when it warms up.

[Cookiebaker]

I voted "it's Okay" because we only had a half dozen opportunities to introduce Malone to water this past summer. Every time he seemed a little more interested, so I am hoping that next summer he will be full grown and learn to *love* it. *hope hope*

Most of our dogs do not like baths, so I voted "Won't put my paw in it"

Our Eli will be first to tell you, "Bath is a four-letter word"

Yes, Jo loves swimming! She goes a lot in the summer. Zeke has only been to the beach once, so he's not to sure about it yet

[Cisco's Mom]

Cisco absolutely hates the water. In fact, when we go for a walk he will go clear out around a house runing the sprinkler or he will go clear around a puddle. He doesn't even like walking after it has rained. I give him a bath in the shower with me only thru bribury(sp?) of a treat.

I'm not sure yet, Linc hasn't been near water lately.

We walk with 9 dogs, you can't see them all here. We have 2, and 1 of them swims, in the summer! Several of the other dogs swim year round.

voted for "wont put my paw in it" - Mocha dislikes water so much...but it doesn't mean I'm going to stop taking her to beach! Sometimes I tried to train her to like the water....like trying to have her focus on the stick or a ball of wet sand (because she loves to chase them)..so I throw it TO the shoreline....*Mocha ran...until to the shoreline....'Arf! Nice try, Gina! I ain't gonna touch this water with my dry paw!' and ran back to me, expect more for sands/sticks! Nah, it doesn't work! *arghh!* I always wish she loves water because I love to SWIM!

She'll be grumpy alll night when I took her to the 'hose-land' in backyard for a bath then next morning in my bed...she'll say *liiick, liiick, "Thank you, Gina!" & liiick!*... I knew it...dogs are always so forgiven, no talk backs

[Leiloo]

Leiloo is a lab mix and true to the breed she LOVES the water!! I am currently on a waiting list for a Great Dane and am hoping I can get him to love the water as well.

[Aspen and Misty]

Chewy isn't a water dog. But he is the kind of dog that when he gets attached to you, he will fallow you till the end of the earth. So when I go in the water Chewy has to coem to protect me from those evil rocks Teddy NO, when he walks ouside and there is mud he holds his tail up real high and he tip toes, lol its so funny. Honey, no one knows

[primabella]

i don't know yet because first - we don't have a pool, second - its winter. but when we gave him a bath, he didn't seem to mind the water. i don't think he would be good for swimming though. all the tangles in his fur!

leiloo - welcome to PT hope all works out with your Great Dane

[Black Swan]

Puddle or ocean, sprinkler or pool ... my boyo loves water.

[anna_66]

I voted "won't put my paw in it". Angus just despises water & tries his best not to get wet.
Roxey doesn't like to swim but will put her whole head (up to her eyebrows ) in big water bowl we have outside.
I'm not sure about Huney yet, she doesn't mind sleeping in the the rain though
