Been eying a Brittany Spaniel for a while, but I've also heard that some are great, some aren't in water.
My Brit falls into the "I am not going in that water if I have any choice in the matter" category.

Depends on how far off the beaten path you want to go

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever:

Portuguese Water Dog

Or a Springer Spaniel

I had a Springer growing up that would swim in the lake forever. He would watch a duck fly over, and jump in to follow it, then see an another one and start following that. Had enough sense to come back to the dock before he drown himself.
