i think my boys are part fish....they see water and literally dive in like dolphins. they love baths also. when max was younger he would put his front 2 paws in the tub as i was showering and just let the water spray him in the face....hes an odd one.

I've had 2 that love water and 2 that dislike it. They'll go into a river or lake up to their chests but won't swim and don't like going out in the rain or getting their paws wet! But the other 2 are part fish and absolutely love to go swimming, play with the hose, and splash around in a kiddie pool that I put out in the summer. And yes I have had a few occasions where someone jumped into the tub or shower with me. The tub was the worst - OMG those claws were painful!!

MINE JUST LOVE THE WATER!!!!
I cant wait till I have a day off to go with my GF and take our boys to the lake and take a swim and walk.
My oldest Buck he takes off running and leaps in and then bites at it and splashes just like a kid. Now Pup he just boldly goes in and starts digging and splashing water everywhere. We have a little stream in our woods I have taken them to and they just get so muddy and wet. Looks like they have been part of a mud bog run. LOL Cant wait to take them.

I think Gala was a fish in another life. If there is water, she is in it.
Sam and Ultro also like water.

Diabla loves water and swims like a dolphin, she also like to dive for rocks. But the sea... that is another matter, you will never convince hr that the white thing that tastes so bad is water, no way!

She doesn't get stuck in those lilly pads? My last Rotti got hung up in them real bad once...I had to dive in to pull him out (he weighed 150) he never got int he water again after that.

Do these answer the question?





She was 5 before she could be around the hose without stealing it from me.

Our last Shepherd, Kizzie, was crazy for water. She would swim out into the middle of the Hay River and just tread water for ages.

Our puppy Kiah doesn't have the chance yet...if she tried she would knock herself out on 3 feet thick ice. I am sure she will love it though.
