Best Kiddie Pools for GSD?

[caview]

Can you please give your recommendations? Which one is the most durable (Xargos loves digging the bath bottom, I accept the same in the pool, but maybe not, as there will be much more water..), easy to maintain and is large enough..

How often do you change water?

Thank you,
Tnaya

I'll be interested in finding out the best pools too. I want to get one for my girls. I already know better than to get the kind whose sides have to be filled with air. I want a nice sturdy one that can take a lot of very boisterous GSD activity.

I can't wait for the answers, Trip dragged the full plastic kiddie pool (small one from Wal-mart) across the yard, then tipped it over and made a mud bog, but boy did he have fun doing it. I'd like to find one that will last longer than a day.

There's a lot of expensive more durable ones out there but I just buy the cheapies at walmart. From the Walmart collection, we have the big pool with a slide ($30). It was my kids for 2 years but now they're ready for something bigger. It's too big for me to tip it by myself so I may get the dogs the middle sized one. I have the $10 one that's 3' across, it's a few years old too.

IT's out the end of the year becuase Otto spent about an hour one day dragging it up and down the driveway. Now my kids use it as a footbath for the real pool.

I got the Paq the $15 one from Walmart this year (not the smallest one I think it was the next size up). Comfortably holds 2-3 dogs.

bwahahahah!

sorry to laugh, but I could just imagine that whole scenario...

My two beastiegirls would do the same thing and enjoy every minute of it, even going so far as to wallow like pigs in the mud.

Which they do anyway each time we get a soaking rain here and part of their yard turns into Mudville.

Here is Mauser enjoying his pool:



I bought it at Menards, the largest size, for under $10.

I am looking for a bigger one because it does get a little crowded at times:




I chance the water if it gets too warm or too green. This past week I was changing it almost every day because it was in the high 90s and it felt like bath water. Usually it goes 3-5 days between changing.

I'm looking for something like this (only bigger):

I have the plastic kiddie pool as well and I find the only time it really sprung a leak was when I was trying to empty it when it was partially full and creating a crease. Now I bail them with a 5 gallon bucket.

Lauri, I have some like the one you are looking for but they really do not hold up well with dog toe nails and teeth. The "floor" is basically plastic sheeting.

Barb I think ours is the same size as the one you posted. Jethro does a pretty good job draining the pool for me with the zoomies and digging.

Dante digs too, what is with that
