I have a dog(Blackie) that since day one he goes swimming everyday in the pool. I have no way of keeping him out.
But he can swim great he does two laps comes back jumps out and dries off.
Sometimes he will sit at the top step of the pool and only be in 2-3 inches of water.
His dad hates water other then drinking it.
hates taking a bath. avoids the pool like the plague!
it can be 125 degrees outside and everyone else is in the pool except him.
His other son grumpy he will go in with some resistance but I think it's because he sees his brother(Blackie) jump in and play and be petted that he tries.
but 3-4 seconds after getting in he wants out.
I've had grumpy on my shoulders all calm and cool. I go in the pool and he isn't even touching the water and he wants out!
Is this natural behavior for these dogs?
I'm not used to small dogs at all.
all my previous dogs were 90 lbs and above.
