@@zarahalora7567 No, but you got yourself a Bartender's mentality there.

I have actually been considering it! I had hoped to try it out this year at some of my favorite events, but of course, with the pandemic, those were canceled.

@@spitfirethewhippet8636 How are you and Spitfire doing lately?

I think a large part of it has to do with how far the dog jumps and how well the dog transitions into the water. For example, Spitfire never stops moving during speed retrieve. The way he slides into the pool after jumping is perfect form as he doesn’t sacrifice valuable time, and he doesn’t slow down very quickly. It does help that he is a strong swimmer for the final strokes. However, I have seen whippets jump just or nearly as far but they don’t know how to swim well, so their rear will sink and they lose the transition from air to water, slowing them down greatly, and they can’t make up for lost time because they are poor swimmers. Although, I know several whippets who know how to swim better after competing more often because they learn how to swim

@@spitfirethewhippet8636 ok , interesting . So you would say that as a breed whippet can make good swimmer ? We know that in all other aspects they are supreme competitor . Thanks for the video and replies .

@@nico40820 I'd say that whippets can be good swimmers. It may not come naturally for some (although I haven't had a problem with my whippets, they've all been good swimmers). Although whippets as a breed will never be superior to a lab or something made for swimming.
