Lurchers Swimming

[Bosun11 537]

Only owned one that really took to water. Lookin back, I should of made more of it...

 

As a kid my mate had a big rangy Deerhoundy type that could swim like an otter and retrieve ducks, geese an anything else that we'd bladder from the opposite bank with our 4.10's. When 'ol Jet died, we had to make do with a cod hook...

Most of mine have loved a dip, but not bothered about swimming. Don't know if my pup will be any different, working springer x lurcher

They will all get used to it, I start mine in the river retreiving a ball during the summer and by the winter they are happy to face the sea/waves. My long runs are by the river and round to the sea and the dogs tag along and use the water to cool down summer and winter.

Swimming is great exersise for cur dogs,.and once they are launched,.....there is definitely no going back,...or picking and choosing their runs
