Wheatens do not like the hot summer weather. There is no surprise. They come from rainy Ireland, the average temperature is around pleasant 15 degrees there. If it is possible, allow the dog swimm in summer. You should be careful to show the water to the dog for the first time, it needs to be done friendly. Dogs usually come to water just with legs, they do not swim from the beginning. My Petra likes to bring different sticks. She was also swimming for the stick. My Finn is little different. I took advantage of his friendly and sociable character. I went to swim with Petra and Finn stayed alone without his family, poor boy. He was so shocked by possibility to be left alone in the bank of the river, that he started to swimm as well. He likes to swim very much now and he has fun with jumping to the river. Karla is the youngest member of our pack. She does not like to stay the last, she swimms with other dogs and likes it a lot.
