I used to have a dog, Winnie, who was half poodle, half schnauzer. She absolutely loved water too. She would go in the water and swim and swim. She would follow me up the diving board and jump in after me. She would go underwater and bring up rocks and old bottles etc. I loved that dog. She was one of my Mother's dog's pups. We got her in 1972 and she died at 13 years. I still miss that dog. She was the best dog ever.
