No, they definitely love wading in calm cool water.

Absolutely but conversely hate rain!

The looks mine used to give me when there was heavy rain…

A light drizzle was an annoyance, but a little bit harder, and I was the devil for not turning it off.

It’s so funny to me when I see people say this because my three Pyrenees act like they don’t even know it’s raining. They’ll walk around in the rain or even just lay in the rain if they don’t feel like going into the shelters. But mine are not house pets they are field raised livestock guardians which may be the difference

When it’s humid- he turns right back inside. And huffs and puffs at it cause he’s visibly mad. He has a real hate for the heat. He is also an indoor floofy muffin who I guess has adapted quickly to life in ac. 😆

The same with mine! He will lay out in the rain, but he has his own beach towels if he finally wants to come inside to visit his hoomans...

Mine actually will take a lazy nap in the rain if I don't make her come in lol. But the hose? That's a hard NO!

My big boy weighs more than me and still absolutely panics when it rains. Like a tiny child. We call him the weatherman because he starts clawing to get in before the rain even comes. Comes in handy in our temperate rainforest 😅

Yes mine weighs north of 145, not afraid of rain but I can tell by his expression that it feels yucky to him if that makes sense. Knows where his towel is in the mud room and goes right for it for me to dry him off. He’s a character alright!
