Sheltie club pool party

That looks like an amazing event Sharon and what a great idea! I know none of mine would be jumping in the pool initially but then who knows…I think they might surprise me.
Your dogs must’ve had a blast playing with those other Shelties…I do agree they know their own kind and do seem to all get along!

It would be interesting to see how many times Shelties in a mixed group of dogs would group up and tend to hang together? I think there is something about the way they act. maybe smell?, body language and demeanor that they might recognizes as "their tribe".

We recently joined a local(ish) Sheltie club, mostly based further south but a few of us members up in our area. They have an annual BBQ and pool party. I was told some of the Shelties swim. So Arden took each dog in individually to see what they would do. None of them were thrilled but nobody panicked. We let them mostly float. But indeed, some crazy Shelties were jumping in and out of the pool. It has a very gradual ramp entrance so they can get out easily. Just hilarious. I tried counting but I know I missed some - there were at least 25 dogs. Mostly sables, only one little Tri girl.

Not one argument among the pups, either.

Juno did GREAT. She was a bit reticent at first with so many new dogs in a new place, but honestly all 3 cruised around the large yard without being glued to our legs. I can tell you we took 3 exhausted dogs home! Here are a couple of photos.
