my lab dove in river in dec with ice etc when he was 6 months old..i almost had heart attack,he was swimming around in circle..

i caught up to him about 1 mile away and used a painters pole with fishing net to get him..

i was very stupid to let him near water then in winter..

well, now he swims at midnight in river,dives 20 ft off bank to get in..he even dives for stones you throw in..

very strange for lab not to like water,my neighbor has a lab that hates water but he took him to creek when water was 30 degrees or colder..

i would wait for warmer water, go out in water with his toy and out he will come..
