I think those two would live in the water full time if they could. The first time we took Angel to the ocean when he was a puppy he just walked up to it and laid down in the waves that were washing up on the beach and apparently thought it was the perfect place to take a nap. Must be those webbed feet of theirs - they also have specialized fur to keep them warm in the water which means they're perfectly content to stay out in it all day while we're freezing just from them coming up and shaking next to us.

We're in the process of training them for their water rescue titles but it's a work in progress...I'm not sure that I'd quite run out and wait for them to save me yet ;) Moby (and maybe it's because of his name) is getting pretty good at rescuing bumpers, boat cushions and empty life jackets but so far Angel only rescues sticks and his favorite bumper.

Our third dog thinks the water is fun and all but he doesn't work because he doesn't think he's a dog. The two newfs have been in a ton of obedience and rally classes and our golden has never done any formal training and in all honesty he's usually the best behaved of the three...
