Barqs learns to swim

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:

Pepper (Sheltie) swimming (2MB)

Barqs (Cairn Terrier) swimming (2MB)



Unfortunately, there isn't a picture of Barqs in the pool - just video :(

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).

Go Barqs!

Wow look at her swim :-) That's really cool!

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

It's amazing how natural swimming comes to them.
