Thread: Teaching a dog to swim

It is just some dogs.
I had huntaways you thought might drown, heading dogs that swam like bloody crocodiles.
Springers were pretty good. Weimaraner just about checked water with a thermometer but could swim.
Then you had the ones that when arm deep fixing a trough ballcock mid winter would jump in because they could and didn't care.
But just play with them in the water they learn.
If you leave them behind crossing a creek or river they seem to learn quick too.
