Juno loves the water and always runs right down to it. Here are some pictures at a pond near our house and at the lake where we have a cabin.
I am very jealous of all the dock jumpers out there. They all look great. Juno also loves docks but he loves running out to the end of them and then putting on the breaks and stopping right at the end. He usually stands there and barks. We believe that he really wants to jump off the end but just hasn't quite figured it out yet. He seems to get to frustrated and starts to bark. He likes to see and be able to touch the bottom when he first gets in the water.
We have tried everything like jumping off the end of the dock ourselves, throwing the toy off the end or grabbing his hind end and giving him a little shove. He catches on to that one quickly and then won't come out to the end of the dock while we are there. Oh, one day he will do it! Good work to all of those who have mastered it. I love to see the pics.
There will only be a couple more months of open water around here so we had all better get out and enjoy it before it all freezes over.
Oh just awesome duck GSP water pics!! Roxi is a real natural. Should have a spectacular Duck, Pheasant season this Fall. Each GSP action water pics on this thread are just breathe taking What makes this thread so precious is the general public donot see the water side of our GSPs. When the general public think of a duck dog, it is often a Lab or Chese. Pointing dogs are often just seen pointing in a field. Just love this thread of our GSPs shining in the water, displaying great talents Juno and Bravepoint your water GSP pics just Rocks
Great pics everyone! This is as close as she has got so far.
Last summer we introduced our friends Lab puppy to water. First to Rocky's backyard pool, then to Alpine Lake. a small WI fresh water no wake Lake. Here is Lucy's first time in swimming following Rocky!! It was a hoot watching her learn to swim
Here is Weller yesterday at our favorite watering hole.
Okay we all know that GSP's are water guys so lets see some pics people of our dogs enjoying the water!
I have to say, no, I did not know this. :p
In fact, Bo is TERRIFIED of water. If we turn the hose on, he hides as far away as he can get. We were at a lake on July 4th. I carried him in to the water! He did NOT like it one bit.
Great pictures by everyone. Love the dock jumping shots!!
