Default Swimming Places for Dogs

I have been here for 5 years and have 2 Chocolate Labs who love swimming. They want to get in deeper water to swim and catch balls. Plenty of ponds but I love my Labs and don't want them to become an entrée.

I have searched for adequate places with little luck. Yes, I have tried Bark Central in Inverness (small, shallow pond), a dock jumping place in Orlando and I sometimes go back to Pinellas Co., to Fort Desoto Dog Beach.

Really would like an outside pool for Pets that I could go to regularly. Boy, if someone wants to start a new business, this would be profitable.

With the cost of the land and then building the pool would be astronomical and I cannot ever see that being profitable.

So true and I couldn’t imagine the maintenance for a pool with cleaning and hair filtration. A pond environment would be worse because shallow water would breed vegetation in no time.

Don't know if it is worth the risk. Any pond deep enough for a lab to swim in and retrieve balls is big enough to harbor a gator and they don't advertise their presence. They do move around; a pond that is gator-free one day might have a "resident" the next.
