out of five only one has liked the water, we live on the lake and she runs down the steps by the dock and drops her ball in so she can swim after it. It's cute except for when I don't want her to go in and I am chasing after her yelling LOLA Stop. Even when we walk now, she still runs towards one of the areas where I let her go swimming, but in Feb in MI the lake is frozen so the poor little thing looks so confused. My parents next door neighbor has an above ground pool with a small deck. When visiting I could hear someone swimming laps, I saw the whole family in the yard playing baseball, so I wonder who's in the pool, then I see it's their golden swimming lap after lap, for almost an hour! I always wondered about dogs that swim in pools allot, if you use chlorine wouldn't that be bad for the dog, since they tend to swallow the water. LOL all I could think of was all that hair clogging up the filters, Goldens shed like crazy
