I was told that French Pointers like water and will have no trouble with water retrieves. Well, Rufus wasn't sure about that. A visit to the in-laws required Rufus to get wet. I slowly got him into the pool and let him swim to the steps. He was not happy! He would look at the water, but he really didn't want to get in it. I figured it would take a little time, let him decide he wanted to swim. Saturday, Fathers Day weekend, we have a small plastic pool at the house, so I filled it up, after-all it was only 100 degrees plus. He sniffed around a bit, got in and walked around a little...... then all hell broke loose ! He went crazy, Rufus and Bear (the resident Jack Russell) lost any sense they may have had. In the pool, out of the pool, around the yard Rufus would run through the pool, do a somersault roll in the water, pop out the side and keep on running ! I guess all he needed was a "kiddie" pool ! Happy Fathers Day to me. - sg
