skycat 6,174 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Pup practising: a bit splashy there, but he's a lot more fluent in water now: taken when he was about a year old. I've never had a Saluki bred lurcher so mad for the water before, but now he throws himself off low bridges as well as banks: and really fast swimmer too: it's that competitive nature I guess LOL Rubbish photo as the light was very bad: I must get some more of him in the water soon, before it gets too cold. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless their name is Sparrow, who can walk on water though she's always been as at home in the water as a seal: she can even tread water, and dive under for stuff: 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
