Swimming
Just wondered if any of you take or can get your fur baby's to go swimming. In general I know staffords are not normally keen on water and swimming.

My pooch LOVES the water! Your pooch will either love it or hate it and might just prefer a paddle

Re: Swimming
I have just started taking maxi swimming in an indoor pool to get her used to it and more comfortable with water, we go once a week. If we are at the beach she will go in the water if I'm in and I call her but then swim back again!

We have not got Rocky in the river yet he doesn't seem that keen on the water tbh and will tell it off with a bark if it moves. Would love to see him have a swim though.

Lou only goes in as far as her ankles. Would love for her to have a swim in the lake...im thinking of taking her to a hydro pool to see if we can get her used to it.
