Luna has shown interest in water - leaping and playing in puddles and baby pools but I have not taken her to the intracoastal or ocean yet. We can't swim in most ponds here in FL for obvious reasons (alligators) but I may see if she takes to a pool.
It would end up being at least good exercise for her to teach her to swim...

Hello Lunas mom

I have play water rescue whit Hronec two summers now (Hronsek´s brother), first we swim out 250m into the lake and after that he has to drag me al the way back, I also trained him this summer to swim out and bring the life buoy back, next step was to let him swim out whit the life buoy to a person far out, but it got to cold in the water for anybody to swim out I have a dry suite, but I cant save my self and be one the shore at the same time

But I´m not a pro, It´s just for fun, but now he can at least save me if I get a cramp in the middle of the lake

I use my own life buoy whit a orange fetch dog toy on a rope, I do not know if he will go fetch the real think in a real situation yet... probably not

I will play more this summer and I´m going to bring my camera and some friends, maybe I can post some photos here later...

Any advise on how I can do my play rescue training more real is much appriciated.

Very best regards / Mikael
