I HATE swimming pools! Contrary to what everyone believes, dogs do not know instinctively how to swim. I always ask my new owners if they have a pool...even a little fish pond....I started doing that when one of my babies went to her forever home, and within a week, had drowned in their Koi pond.....I beat myself up daily for not catching that and preparing them for the danger. NOW, I teach ALL my babies to swim before they go to their new home, and if the people have a pool, I insist they get a life jacket and bring it with them when they come to pick the baby up....we can fit it at that time......and I KNOW they got the life jacket! These babies are just like a toddler, you cant take your eyes off them for a second, especially around water!
