I have shepherd/rottie mix who LOVES water. My co-dependent dog, who won't let me pee by myself, doesn't know who I am if there is water and a ball. It's the ONLY time he refuses to listen to me.

I swear, if my dog could talk, he'd be saying, "She's not my mom!!!" as I carted his butt out of the park.

However, I had a Golden who hated water. Go figure. My chow mix also doesn't like water. I'm not sure if he'd go in water if he was on fire.

I think my pup is going to enjoy it, at least I'm really pulling for her too. With no dams in yet the water at the conservation area down the road only comes up to her belly, so it's been perfect to get her into it. She runs around in it like crazy, chasing whatever I throw for her. It's a real challenge at times to even get her out, and she's hit a couple holes that brought it above her head and she just shook it off and kept going.

Looking promising and I'm really working with her and keeping my fingers crossed she'll be a swimmer.

Cullen loves water. He has yet to get deep enough into any to swim, but I would prefer it be nice enough to get in with him... just for safety! But he does jump into the lakes with ease, and he plays in every water bowl and bucket, and if I break out the hose, he runs through it like a kid in a sprinkler!

Heidi loves swimming, but hates water falling falling on her head (rain, hose). I can hardly wait for spring so she can go swimming in the lake. It's one of our favorite things.

Tony loves water. Two of the dog parks I go to have large bodies of water and Tony just walks right up and starts swimming. He gave me quite a scare, because he got quite a distance out there swimming after a duck and boy he loves duck. I think he believes he is a lab and or a hunting dog.

I wish my Sammy liked water. He has been terrified of it since we got him at 7 weeks old and he is almost 8 months now.

My GSD pup Troy loves water and likes to bite the stream of water from the hose when I am watering the trees, grass and shrubs. My Australian Shepherd runs away when I turn on the water.

Miikka loves to play in water...her water bowl, the bird bath, the garden hose. HOWEVER, she hates, hates, hates getting a bath! I think she views it as torture!
