Does your GSD love or hate water?

[Doubleminttwin]

Baya has a love hate relationship with water, she LOVES to run in it and wade in it but don't even think about making her swim or take a bath lol

[Ellie]

Ellie also has a love-hate relationship with water. She HATES when it's raining to get her paws wet. She won't get out of the car if she sees that the ground is wet haha. But if we're at the park and I throw the ball in the lake, she'll trot in and get it (but not swim)

Tony is water maniac. At the dog park I go to they have a clean up station to rinse off the dogs. Guess who refuses to leave that area?? Then when we leave and head to the other end of the park, he shoots back like a newly fueled up rocket. Now I come in the other entrance but when we leave we have to go right by it. If no one is there, he just stands there looking at me like I am leaving him forever. I am never gonna ever be able to wash my truck again. He graps the hose and tries to eat the water coming out, I must admit it is really funny and he could care less how wet he gets.

Ares just goes after the tennis ball as far as I can throw it. Otherwise, he's a "wader". My new dog, Zuleyka/Faygo von haus Huro is a little different as I've already seen her swiming along the shoreline for no good reason.

[Sigurd's Mom]

Sigurd loooves water and all water related things. He paws/smooshes his nose on the shower when I'm in it, if I opened the door he'd go in with me! When taking a bath, he tries to crawl into the bath tub! It's been raining for a couple days now, and Sigurd loves it. He likes to lay on the porch when it's raining. :S The other night we had a thunder/lightening storm with a lot of heavy rain - Sigurd was outside throwing his ball and playing with himself, haha.

When she was a very small puppy she did not like the tub. Understandably so loud noise, from the facet, strange surface, confined etc.... but now she loves open water pond, lake, river, creek, swimming pool,etc...

My boy hates water if it is a bath, but loves to splash and lay around in his kiddie pool. He will also sit under the sprinkler, stick his head in my shower, run through puddles, drop his ball in the water dish & slosh it all around. We have not had a chance to take him somewhere to swim yet.
Our previous GSD HATED water, unless it was in a bowl to drink! If it was raining or if the ground was wet he didn't want to go outside.

I am glad to know Ecco is not retarded or the only one that loves dropping her ball or other toys in the water and then inevitably make a huge mess.

[KayElle]

Both of my GSDs are avid water dogs. We live right on the Huron River and from late spring to early fall, their favorite game it to fetch floating toys that we throw out into the river for them. They swim out and back to retrieve them about 40 feet each way. GREAT exercise and lots of fun!

Hondo loves the water - but I think he loves mud more! Ole' mud bug.
