Riddick hates water, but he is learning to deal with it as of lately. But Rogue she LOVES the water, except for sprinklers, guess they come at her too fast.

She got stuck othe first time she met them, not too bad, but now she doesn't mess where there are too much. The ones you see between her and the camera she can touch the ground there.

Athena loves pools and lakes and streams but hates to get in the tub for a bath.

Rocky loves the ocean jumps the waves and body surfs, baths are ok as long as I be finished by the time he is done, (Never happens he always ends up whining to get out) and he doesnt like the rain.

Forgot to mention Luther didn't like water, the only one of my 7 GSDs who didn't. I'd take them to the beach and he'd go in up to his knees just ot make me happy. Morgan used to terrorize him by running up to him and splashing around.

He had a bad experience when he was young - running up the dock at night, he tried to turn and there was nothing under him. I had to haul him back onto the dock, it seemed to take forever.

Mine loves it in any form, salt free or not! She's not huge on swimming in it, but loves to run and play in it - ocean, kiddie pool, any of it is great in her opinion!

I am not sure yet, I really hope he loves it. I spend a lot of time in, on and around the water in the summer. Scooter is like a turtle and I hope Dozer will swim with him.

I just have to figure out how Dozer is going to be able to kayak with us. Any ideas? I do not think he will be able to do this...
