I can't keep my Brittany out of the water. River, lake, pond, or poo-filled cow watering hole - she runs right in and flops like she's a little pig going for a wallow.
One of the rescue Malamutes I had had been left in a small pen all her life, 7 years old, never even taken for walks. The guys duty was to feed her when he remembered, and his wifes job as to yell at her and kick at the fence when she went by. They had to move, and sadly, couldn't keep the dog.....it ended up in a rescue.
When I saw her, they said they didn't know if she was adoptable. I wore them down, I think they let me take her after a couple weeks just to get rid of me. When I first got her to the mountains, I had her leashed and walked up to a mountain creek. Dog was "WHOA, WTF???" "WHAT IS THAT?" she wouldn't go near the creek. Scary stuff. after a few minutes of me going near the water and not being eaten by the water monsters, she slowly got closer, and eventually touched it, then sniffed it, then finally stepped into it. It was hard to keep her out of the water after that. She ended up with cancer, but the last year or so of her life was pretty adventurous.
