We've been taking groups (males/females) of dogs swimming at a private spot on Lake Superior almost daily during the week. Well, we do most of the swimming, they usually do this:
 |
| Watch from the rocks. |
 |
| Elliot using his snorkle and mask while the dogs look on. |
We do throw them in some times, but really wish they'd just swim on there own. Good exercise that won't overheat them and it would wash some of the dust out of their fur. Of course, we discovered that we do have one water dog:
Actually, before I had the camera this day, Brian had only swam like once since we've been bringing them here this spring, but on this day, he swam a lot, getting in the water and swimming to each of us (me, Jeremy, and Elliot) over and over again. He must have wanted his picture taken. He also got special attention every time he swam, with no competition with other dogs because no one else would get in the water. Afterward, his fur was so nice and bright, clean, and soft! We are planning on having him around when we take the new pups to the lake when they are about eight weeks or so, in hopes that they will learn to like swimming as much as Brian seems to.
