My Lab is water insane, can't keep her out of it. Loves playing with the hose too, any running water she attacks and bites at like an idiot, even creeks and streams.
The first time we took her though she just walked into the lake until she sank and her head went under. Thankfully she learned how to swim and didn't scare herself too badly.
Our 16 year old Sheltie/Healer swimming in our dugout, has some days that stairs give her a hard time, but will still go for a swim.
Our daughters Bule Merle Sheltie/cross is another crazy swimmer, she bites at the water while she's swimming, I had trouble getting her to come out of the dugout, she just swam a around in circles for 40 min.
