Does your Yorkie like water? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have 7 and 3 love the water, including the water bowl, the others hate it but feel much better after I wet them down. I have a blow up wading pool for them. works great.

No, not really! Tatum tolerates the bath and doesn't squirm but outside, no water. Our Australian Shepherd, Stormie, love love loves to play in the sprinkler! She could do it ALL day but Tatum will run and chase her yappin' her head off until the sprinkler comes back her way.... then she runs like crazy away from it - just to run back at Stormie when the water goes back to the other side. We've never tried a wading pool though.

EJ loves taking baths but whenever I take him to the dog beach, he has no interest in the water and just plays on the sand.

Jake and Abigail both love the water. I can't keep them out of it.

Jeter hates his baths, I have no clue how he will be with a pool though this is his first summer

Mine will swim in the pool, but he would much rather just play in the water on the top step. He loves to get under the waterhose and then play in the dirt and get all muddy!

Both of mine can swim, but dont do it on their own. They prefer a mister. I put the hose on "mist" and it makes a puddle on the patio. They run through the mist and splash in the puddle, but Zoeybear gave a thumbs down to the baby pool I bought last year.

Glad to see everyone is into the water "thingy" with the fur-kids. Yesterday and today we have had a heat wave which is very unusual for our area, so I'm going to Wal-Mart to buy a blow up pool for them. Three years ago I bought a molded pool for Zada and Azrael when they were less than a year old, but they would not put one toe in it. They don't mind their baths at all, so I don't understand. Our new baby, Razael LOVES to chase after the water when I have the hose, and loves her bath, so maybe she will be the first one to jump in the pool. Hopefully the other two follow suit.
