What labradors do in ditches

[Clodagh]

Just to really sell labrador ownership to Sukhpreet Aujla we went for a walk this afternoon and my pup (9 months old, size of a horse already) got in a ditch with water in.
Just be thankful it is not a scratch and sniff photograph!

And spaniels are about half the height of a lab....

Gundogs for the win.

But she looks so proud of herself

 

[windand rain]

She looks like mine when an unsuspecting relative takes her for a walk in the field. There is a muddy stream running through the middle that she just loves to swim in, it also has the outflow from the sewage pumping station in it so the smell is just a bit ripe

And twice the hair.

 

[Fanatical]

Look how proud of herself she looks! haha! LOL

But she looks so proud of herself

Particularly the joyful 'You can't catch me' galloping rear end.

I don't think it is sewage, it's a good four fields away from our septic tank outlet. Mind you it does stink! I hope it is just rotten leaves and the odd dead thing.

And flatcoats are just as bad

 

[Moobli]

Hahahahahahahahaha!!

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Now that is mighty!!

 

[splashgirl45]

Pearl who is very old now was an expert bog snorkeller I ride in a local forest and take the dogs after rain the ditches at the edges of the track fill with water and she would swim along beside me or bog snorkel depending on the circumstance .
My lorry has or should I say had ivory leather seats .

 

[Goldenstar]

Oh Dram ate the gear stick knob off the lorry

 

[Clodagh]

She's just trying to fit in. I told her that behaviour is politically incorrect nowadays.

 

[timbobs]

Haaa, this really brightened my morning and made me very glad to own a water and mud-avoiding sausage dog!

 

[twiggy2]

I am not convinced she knows she is a lurcher and I am fairly sure she would not care if she did...

 

[Auslander]

I'm rather glad that my "gundog" is liquid averse!

My OH said 'isnt that an otter?'

 

[deb_l222]

Yep, I too am raising a 'bog monster'. The Willow has been very good off-lead so has been allowed more freedom. Well, as much as her dodgy knees allow but this is the price I pay:

I guess I'm lucky the other two wouldn't dream of getting their paws wet or dirty
