I have several water bottles out for them, so they don't have to take turns unless they really want to.

I am however considering getting them one of those pet fountains. The ones that filter themselves all the time to provide your dog with fresh clean water. Since it comes out in a stream or like a fountain, maybe their hair won't get as wet because they aren't dipping their hair into the water. At least if they drink from the fountain part and not from the bowl. But I am pretty sure mine would drink from the fountain part because the love drinking from a stream of water rather than a bowl.

They are nice, since the water is filtered, tried it, but found that the pups got their facial furnishings wet, just like a water bowl. Since I show dogs, I try to keep their facial furnishings as dry and clean as possible, even band the furnishings on the sides of their mouths before they eat.
