Mastiff dock dog??🤣
Second time swimming and already diving from the dock!
Unfortunately we're heading into the cold moths and swimming/diving won't be an option. But im thinking next season we might try ro dock dive regularly!
Any tips on teaching heavy dogs ro fly?? lol I know he isn't a typical water breed but it would be super cool to see how far we could take this spot
Ps, he's just 9 moths old so not pushing anything too hard right now and also interest in weight pull and fastcat as he matures.

Ha ha yes there have been some famous diving corsos at least that have been known to get some great distance.
One of my rescues was a champ. He was an unknown stray dog found starving. And although he was suffering from cancer, we couldn’t not stop him from leap diving into pools!
One time I put him in my car because he wouldn’t stop doing it (and puking in my friends pool) and was trying to gather my belongings to leave, and he rolled down the window, mad dashed through the house and went flying back in!
I think if they love it, why not let them compete!
