We have one of each. Roxy doesn't even like to look at another dog playing in the water. Ward loves the water and will put his entire head under to fish for rocks. He was a little hesitant with the ocean on our first beach vacation, but now loves to chase waves too - which perfectly suits his laid-back surfer dude personality.

Heidi loves swimming. She loves the lake and she loves her bath. She does not like rain, avoids the hose, and goes around puddles.

My guy LOVES water! In the summer I set up a baby pool for him and he practically lives in that thing when he's outside. He also loves to go swim in the river, or pretty much anywhere else there is water! However, he's not a fan of the hose or getting baths.

Hummer loves, Loves, LOVES water. He comes home from the barn soaked every day because he chases the water coming out of the hose every time we're rinsing buckets or hosing off the horses. The first time I took him down to the intercoastal beach (unfortunately not the actual 'ocean beach'... haven't found a beach down here in Palm Beach county that allows dogs... blah) he was a little freaked out by the waves and kept barking/trying to bite at them... but within 15 minutes was going the whole way in after sticks. When we head back north to NJ... we'll be living less than a mile away from the Delaware River... I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time there....

Clover comes up to me every time I have a hose in hand, but it's to get a drink. Max we didn't know about, but in the park today he chased some geese....right into the pond. He was up to his belly until I called him back. I don't think he was even thinking about the water, it was all about the geese.

Jesse loves swimming, diving, jumping in water (swims every day in our salt water pool in the summer), loves lakes, and rivers too, this time a year he runs through puddles back and forth, jumps into the shower with us.

But doesn't like baths?!?

Before I adopted Kacie the girl I got her from warned me of her only bad habit. Whenever she saw a puddle she would lie down in it. Being a long coat, it is a pain to get the mud out of her!
We have a koi pond and it is a challenge to keep her out. She loves water. Onyx loves chasing the hose spray and they are both happy in the lake. Bathtime is no big deal either, they jump in the tub readily.
This was from the first Summer Kacie joined our pack:
