Do beagles like water

ANSWER: My beagle can't wait to get in the water. Now, let me clarify. We take him boating every weekend during the summer and he can't wait until the boat is anchored so he can get in the water and sit on his mesh raft. He will sit out there for hours at a time. He does not like to swim too much though. He is pretty lazy so he enjoys just sitting in his old mesh raft most of the time.
