Does your GSD love or hate water? - Page 13

My 5 month pup wants to go in the water (I can see it in her face) but is still unsure, she will put her front paws in then backs out. Just like a 2 year old kid going to the beach for the first time.

LOVE IT!!!!

YouTube - Taming the Waves

Dena went right in the first time she saw water at 4-1/2 months old, but would only wade up to her belly:

It took her a couple of months to finally start swimming, but then there was no stopping her. The first time Keefer saw water at 5 months old he followed Dena right in and has been swimming ever since:

I think it took Halo until her second time in water before she swam, the first time, at 15 weeks old, she just splashed around:

Didn't take long for her to be able to keep up with Keefer:

Mac loves playing in his plastic pool. Today, he stepped into the shower with me (didn't see that coming). He loves water.

Heidi loves to go in the water, but she's not the greatest swimmer. I think she got scared when she jumped into a cranberry bog when she was young. I don't know what she expected, but she totally disappeared from sight. All of a sudden, she popped back up again. I think it may have frightened her a bit. She really loves to get into any water (puddles, lakes, streams, etc.), but likes to stay where she can touch bottom. It's pretty funny to watch her at times.

As long as he can touch bottom, he has a blast, loves to hose too. But if he can't feel something under his feet he panics.

Yesterday I would have said that Indra hates water...but since she was playing in the pool like crazy I can say she loves it, except for the hose.

Yukon and Zenzy love the water too.

My dogs all LOVE water. They will go to our pond of their own accord. If you say pond dog they all go nuts. They play in the water bowls, baby pools, horse tanks, whatever they can get into. Mia swan the width of our little pond (20 feet) at 10 weeks, of her own accord. All my GSD's loved water.

DJ will run play in the sprinkler and try to bite the water. Sometimes when it's raining I'll look out back and he's sittin in the middle of the yard, in the rain !
