Schnauzers dont like water ????
I have read somewhere that this was the case and it was the only thing that potentially put us off the breed.
Today Gaspard went frog chasing in the lake. He was covered in green algae and smelly mud and absolutely loved it. We had to give him a bath afterwards as all the mud had baked dry in the sun. Just as he was almost dried off, what did he do ? Jumped into the ornamental fish pond ! Prefers the smell to doggy shampoo i assume !
3 baths in one day ...and i think he ate a live baby frog too )))

Re: Schnauzers dont like water ????
Wonderful, mine have always loved water and I think Max will as well as he keeps standing on the river wall. Not only do they love water but the smellier the better as you have just found out. Just thought Max loves his smelly puddles.

It was my birthday last week and Andrew's aunt bought me this card, thought it was very relevant to your post - esp the breed of dog

Re: Schnauzers dont like water ????
I love that card. That was almost exactly the look on his face when we bathed him ....not his first bath mind you, he has had one last week too. He adores anything manky to eat, roll in , not bothered really...the mankier the better. Thank gos he loves to be brushed and in general likes hs baths..except when next to the fish pond which is of course far mush nicer ))

Re: Schnauzers dont like water ????
my puppy looks to be the same and last week aged 10 weeks, she decided after been told serval times to come away from the pond she would take a flying leap into it. Our fears over if she could swim were answered. swimming beautifully and we find if it stinks and she can roll in it or eat it then she will do it. I don't remember reading that in my 'guide to Schnauzers' book!!

We have just progressed to wading into puddles, a month ago she would walk around them.
