When the chase is on a dog will swim until exhausted..... there is no doubt about that.... I have had to keep dogs tethered because of this....
My current dog, I have worked very hard to make sure he listens, and understand that if he doesn't he is put on a tether..... This however is not an over night project, I have been at it for 3 years now....
When it comes to ducks however I am lucky, sure Gamble swims after them.... But as soon as they catch on, and quack back at him, he does an about face and returns home.... Apparently he is all for retrieving as long as they are dead and don't talk back...
