(1,598 posts)my 2 Standard Poodles treated it like a huge water bowl. They drank from it but would not get in it. They do love the sprinkler though.

(131,202 posts)SO wanted one with our Bedlington Terrier!

(9,494 posts)They have a reputation for being hard to train. Is that bunk? I have always wanted one (I love Terriers) but I only rescue and I am guessing Bedlington rescue places the few they get with Bedlington owners.

(131,202 posts)smart, loving, and sometimes singleminded, but great. (Body of a lamb, heart of a lion, they say!)
Probably Bedlington rescue places most with owners, haven't heard to the contrary, but you could certainly try. And if you get one, let me know! Please!
This is our dear Toni. She crossed the rainbow bridge about 5 years ago.

(9,494 posts)I have three pure breed rescues already. I insist that they live to be 140 so I am going to have to wait until I move to the country for good before I add to my menagerie. Three is the legal limit in my town.

(1,598 posts)I had a white SP when I was growing up. Now we have Sydney who is black and Leo who is a Parti (black and white mixed).
I haven't figured out how to post pics yet.

Parti, POODLE? Don't think I've seen that!

Walk away
(9,494 posts)So I bought a little plastic boat at the dollar store and put Milkbones in the passenger seat. It took a while but everyone (except Roxie) started to jump in and chase the boat around the pool trying to grab a treat.
Soon they were rewarding themselves for jumping in. Even when the boat capsized and the MBs sunk to the bottom, the bravest pups learned to dive and retrieve.
Now they just jump right in and wade around!

(11,065 posts)with little colored paper umbrellas? They look like they're impatient for the pool boy with the drink order... "Now where is that waiter with the drinks? I've had a long day!"
Walk away
(9,494 posts)No shades and drinks but they had snacks on their yachts and Island tunes!

(11,065 posts)That is so adorable! You can tell how much you adore your doggies. They're very lucky poochies to have you.

(9,494 posts)That's how the Yorkies learn to jump in the pool and swim! They love "boating"!
