swimming

[Gina Heitz <brier@oregonsbest.com>]

The deal on swimming is this it takes time and usually a good reason to 
swim.  How we train ours to swim is to get them in a group of dogs get the 
excitement level up and just not worry about it.  Most of ours learn to 
swim or be left behind or left out.  We normally will start swimming by 
going to a shallow pond or slow moving stream and we cross.  You wanna be 
with us then you have to swim.

Best,
