Northern breeds avoid water


Not so with my Malamute - Bear.
On his first encounter with Lake Michigan was he didn't want anything to do 
with it, but little by little we coaxed him in and in a matter of a few 
minutes we had a difficult time getting him out. He loved being tossed by 
the waves.

Thanks, Darren, Bob and Frank.

No, Bob, he does not go swimming.  Northern breeds avoid water.  They
seem to have an instinct that tells them water is cold (in the arctic
at least) and life threatening.

Interesting.  The are brave and inquisitive, so I am sure they can
become accustomed to water, but I have had nine, and now was fond of
actually entering water more than a few inches deep.  One of my
puppies accidentally fell in a pool while chasing a German Shepherd;
he didn't panic, but promptly swan to the edge and climbed out.

LOL

Swimming does not come naturally to Northern Breeds.


Have you read The Cruelest Miles about the dog sled relay that
brought the serum to Nome?  It is an incredible story, especially for
anyone who loves sled dogs.  There is an incredible story there about
how TOGO save Seppala and the serum when the ice flow split and they
were separated.  I highly recommend the book:
