My full grown male Artie loves to swim, when we lived in Florida, he used to jump into the pond they looked more like swamps. He would dive off the bank before I had a chance to stop him I was always scared of Alligators or other critters eating him?
I used to take him Body Surfing at CoCoa Beach too. When we were recently visiting in California, he went floating with me on an air mattress in the middle of Lake Shasta. When I am at the Pool he will also try to go swimming in there too.
I think they either love it or hate it?
