A warning to the general public - consider not wearing white trousers when in dog walking area ;)

No my dog will not jump up at you - but if you are standing by the water when the dog comes out don't be surprised that she shakes all over you .

I dread the white trousers brigade

Yes, mine got a lot of sour looks when he shook near the bikini clad sunbathers near his usual swimming spot! And they were all leaving beer cans, bottle lids and remains of picnics everywhere. That was much more deserving of disdain, in my opinion. Makes me almost prefer the bad weather when nobody without a dog bothers going out.

just reminded me of my walk the other day, I was happily throwing sticks in the river for spaniel, for about 5 mins, I then heard this voice saying 'do you mind', I hadnt seen a soul so I looked around and some poor bloke was stood peacefully in the middle of the river trying to fish, which I dont expect was helped by the boingy spaniel leaping into the river, I apologised profusly.

My lab has jumped in the river with a fisherman - ready made playmate in the water ! Fisherman had other ideas and likewise was not amused
