Is there a dog that's under 35 pounds and loves water?

I've been looking for a dog at shelters and at local breeders but I've had trouble finding a dog that's 35 pounds and under (I can probably go a little over the limit 37 would pass) that enjoys water. I spend a lot of time near the water and I live a fairly active life style (dog will get long daily walks or game of fetch at my dog friendly beach) but I dislike small yappy dogs and can't imagine having a dog that's scared of swimming... Do any breeds fit this description??

Answer
my jack russell was a great swimmer ... she swam in pools, the ocean, lakes, hot tubs (she was naughty to do that :O), and she even swam in one of my aquariums ... i even lived on a sailboat one summer and she would jump off the boat and swim and swim and swim ... she was not a yapper ... and could hike or play fetch for hours and hours ... jacks are very smart dogs and when trained they are excellent athletic dogs ...

What are your favorite summer activities to do with your kids?

I'd love to have more ideas than just the beach and the library. We have some little trips and day trips planned, but what other good ideas for school aged kids?

Answer
Let's see. My kids are going bowling tomorrow.

We have lots of different parks around here - and one with interactive water fountains to run through - we go there a lot.

Swimming, sprinklers.

Children's museums.

Find somewhere to go horseback riding.

Make a book of nature in your neighborhood - take photos and label what types of trees, insects, animals they are.

Volunteer to walk dogs at your local animal shelter.

Go to a baseball game or other sporting event

Look into day camps - YMCA usually has educational and inexpensive ones

Make pet rocks
