Today has been the most perfect day. Not a cloud in the sky. 8) I took the dogs swimming in a trout lake on the shooting estate I work on. Here is Caddie doing what she does best - retrieving. ;D http://youtu.be/Z0_X_wZtzu0
Re: Swimming You are such a lucky girl to live in such a beautiful area with all these great places to train in. Caddie looks great and has obviously recovered from her op Well I can only dream for such great retrieving even on land ;D Thank you Lovely video Heidrun. Helen x
Re: Swimming How delightful , a dream for me but one I doubt will happen :'( We too are blessed with crystal clear rivers, lakes and the sea, all within a few minutes of home but sadly, Sam will not swim . He fell into water when he was very small and whilst I was quick to haul him out, it left him quite traumatised . For months he wouldnt even walk through an inch of water but with encouragement , he will now go in after his dummy , but as soon as he is out of his depth he panics and comes out . Its such a shame , I love to see them swimming and agree, Caddie looks in fine shape
Re: Swimming Thanks Helen. ;D And just for you because I know you have a soft spot for him, here is Murffi, my little otter. http://youtu.be/KgAA-DL-O3M
Re: Swimming Kate, don't give up hope. Murffi wouldn't swim for many many months. And now look at him.
Re: Swimming Bless that Murffi, he's a star or a little otter You've worked wonders with him Heidrun, what a lucky little Murffi he is. One day maybe I too will be able to post videos of Charlie doing such wonderful things, yeah pigs might fly and we can all shoot for bacon!! ;D Helen x
Re: Swimming Oh go that little otter boy ;D ;D Sam is the first dog I`ve owned who wont swim , all the others have gone in with great gusto , but I wont give up hope thanks , I`ve even thought about getting in with him , maybe a tad extreme ;D
Re: Swimming Actually, its so warm down here at the moment so it might be the time to take the plunge , so to speak I shall feel a proper fool , swimming after a dummy that my " gundog " wont retrieve ;D ;D
Re: Swimming How lovely to watch the videos of Murffi and Cadie....this beats TV any day. Beautiful dogs.
Re: Swimming Wonderful flying entries ;D Lilly goes to hydrotherapy. Needs pushed in to start, then swims fine!! Always swims better in the pond when there is a chase going on though. ;D Sophie has been known to go in to the hydrotherapy pool. Go on Kate, you know you want to ;D ;D jac
Re: Swimming [quote author=charlie link=topic=1640.msg11911#msg11911 date=1370365975] Go on Kate in you go ;D ;D Helen xx [/quote] Kate, Tesco are doing wetsuits from £6.74!! ;D
Re: Swimming Lovely retrieves and gorgeous dog! Looking forward to the footage of your inaugural water retrieve, Kate.
Re: Swimming I doubt my own sanity at times , now having visions of me in a wet suit ( thank you Heidrun !) swimming back to shore with a dummy in my mouth
