The great thing about Leos and water is that they take to it from a very young age, mind you it must help to have those webbed feet of theirs. |
 |
 |
Nothing like a bit of paddling on a warm summer day |
Of course when a giant breed like a Leo wants to get dry after their dip you had better stand back! |
 |
 |
One focus in water work is of course rescue - here Okie and Boomer are getting to grips with a float. |
However if there is no float
available
or another Leo has 'rescued' it, what can a Leo do but improvise! |
 |
|
These next two
pictures
where taken summer 2008 and show the sheer
ingenuity
of this wonderful breed. Not only do they love water but also they are a dab hand at fishing, note the flapping fish they caught, I kid you not (bigger
pictures
in photo gallery).

Next level up is actualy resucing someone - here is Boomer getting ready to swim out to pull the boat back in. |
 |
 |
Finally making it to the boat - no rush Boomer!!! |
| If ya want a job done ask a Lady, in this case Elsa who is more than happy to pull the boat back to shore. |  |
