We recently got a small pool in the backyard and my husband had the wild idea to see how quickly the dogs picked up swimming. It's amazing how instinctually they know how to swim!
If you have a higher speed connection, and are interested, here are the videos:
We haven't had a chance to get Sophie into water deep enough to see if she likes it, but so far, she has no problem standing (terrier) knee deep in rain puddles to try to catch bubbles, so I don't think she's afraid of water (well, bath water, but that doesn't count).
I've taken my Cairn swimming also in shallow rivers. It's so much fun to see him biting at all the ripples in the water thinking they are fishes or whatever hee hee
