Talk:Water dog

Comment

In this sentence: Strong swimming desire is distinctive within the various breeds. did you mean to say that the swimming desire was instinctive, or that it was a distinctive feature of these breeds? Bit of both? Something entirely different? Quill 01:33, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hmmm, Quill. I did mean distinctive, but really both are true. Do you think instinctive sounds better? It certainly works, as far as I'm concerned. Wcrowe 13:47, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'd use 'instinctive' unless you mean to imply that it's a distinguishing feature in water dogs that isn't present in other breeds Quill 09:15, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Still a stub?

Hi. I came across this page after hitting Random. Just wondering, is this page really still a stub? I'm sure the regular editors/watchers of doggie articles can answer this better than I can. My instinct is to de-stub it, though. cheers. pfctdayelise 14:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps it should be de-stubbed. When I created it, I was hoping some others might include more about water dog training, and some action shots of water dog breeds at work. I can appreciate the addition of the image, (nice looking Poodle, BTW), but it might make more sense to have one of a dog that is actually around water, since the article is about water dogs. I have [this] one, but in my opinion a better photograph would be one of a water dog actually jumping or swimming in water.The Dogfather 18:37, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I deleted the Bedlington Terrier and the Puli. The first's wiki page and an internet search do not mention water work at all. The Puli wiki page specifically says they were NOT water dogs.
