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)
