krissn333 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Ace and Fritz are both able to swim. We found out by accident when they jumped into my neighbor's pool. They both enjoy their baby pool and Ace has been wading in Lake Michigan. I have a feeling that Pinky would not like to swim.

rschultz Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 The ultimate floatation assisstance!! iv'e thought i seen it all but that is so totally hysterical..got to show all my friends.. Our Spinner, a very determined boy, was the first of our 5 hounds to ever attempt swimming. We were in a beautiful wilderness lake up in Northern Minnesota. He'd watched a canoe going out and ached to do the same. After long and careful consideration, he lunged forward into the deep water with an epic flourish. I swear you could hear "Chariots of Fire" playing in the background as he took off. And he sank like a rock. chariots of fire then sank lexie tries to swim but rolls over Quote Lexie is gone but not forgotten.💜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gecko_foot Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 And dock jump too!!! http://neversaynevergreyhounds.blogspot.com/2010/07/dock-jumping.html Travis was a wonder greyhound though. So much fun, totally awesome. I do teach all of mine to swim though. Some like it more than others. http://neversaynevergreyhounds.blogspot.com/2009/06/fishies-out-of-water.html That video was amazing! I have to admit that I had my doubts about what I would see...especially after seeing how my grey Tumnus reacted when he made his first attempt to jump off the dock at the dog park. He followed the labs right to the edge of the dock, and then he slammed on the brakes and skidded to the end. Tumnus is more than willing to wade, but he's decided that he'll leave the swimming and diving to the retrievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 My girls both love water and would like to swim, I think, but we only have wading pools. I haven't gotten up the nerve to take them anyplace deeper! The boys believe they will melt if they get too wet, so that's that for them. Dude loves to jump off things and I've always wondered if he would do dock jumping.

gracegirl Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Mine can swim but don't do it on purpose. Fenway has fallen into the river several times. They love to wade in water though and if I had a pool I'm sure I'd try to get them in it!
