A non-swimming Lab??
Still, if he fell in for some reason you should have a DOB plan in place
to
get him back on board.

I can drag his butt back on board but it wouldn't be easy. I am not
really sure how he would fall overboard tho,. He is not a "stand on
the rail" kinda guy.

Are you saying he *can't* swim or just doesn't like it.

Mr Ed likes a short swim, one lap around the pool but that is about
it. We were swimming the other day and he went for the second lap and
about half way around he was looking for the swimout. At the beach he
won't get in over his head and jumping off the side off the pool or
off of the boat is out of the question.
This won't be one of those diving dogs any time soon.

My dogs all dive, but none of them intentionally.
