Question for senior (or older) newf owners:
How old do you swim your dog without a lifevest ?
Do you put a lifevest on during waterwork trainings when they turn 8? 9? 10? 11+ ?
And what, to you, determines that they need it (for safety) ?
--
Our oldest is now 8,5 (still going strong ), and we were wondering if we should, just because of her age, put a lifevest on her. She still swims excellently (back never ever gets wet during trainings), she has a good condition (doesn't get seemingly tired in the water from the full day trainings even with long distances), but.. she IS getting older and I would not want anything to happen to her. So what do you do and why?
