Thought I had seen a post that I could add to, but can not find it now so I am starting a new one. Feel free to add on, it will be fun to see all the crazy things our dogs do.
I taught my old girl to swim because we worked with children and I did not want her panicing if she fell in the water with kids swimming.
Up until that time I had never had a GSD that liked water, after I taught her to swim she would go in before we went home every afternoon, summer or winter.
Now the new pup swims without being taught, in fact she is obsessed with water..... esp if it moves, hose, waterfalls, bathtubs. Ever try to take a bath or shower with 60 lbs of teeth and hair trying to bust down the door and attack the water? If she had her way she would drink it all down.
