harryshounds 1,351 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Summer walks are mostly down by a local estuary. Is tidal so it fills on the high and drains out on the low, when it's draining it the water moves at really strong current. Had my two down swimming other evening against the flow. They were hardly moving the against the flow, great exercise. 2 Quote Link to post

That 'bushing thing' dives head first, mouth wide open, into any deep water we go near, and it's a job keeping her out of some of the filthy local ponds. Where she comes out coughing her lungs out and stinking to high heaven. Why she first dives in, gob open, I'll never know, as she swims very well, but the Mrs calls her a Pittipotamus. I love a Lurcher that can swim too. This ones not as good as the last, but she's not shy Quote Link to post
