I've seen mine swim way to far for me and then go round and round out there, I have had to wait for 20 or 30 minutes before they would ever get close enough for me to go to them.
Had that happen last night on Lake o' the pines, except i had to go in after them.
I didnt know how deep that part of the lake was, and the garmin said they were over 300 yards out in the lake. Luckily, the deepest it got on that part was chest deep on me. This little sow could swim like a fish!! The dogs would catch her, and almost drown themselves so they would let go. Once i finally got close to them, one of my yella dogs climbed on her back and held her long enough for me to grab her tail and stick her. Not sure how long it took, but it seemed like they were swimming every bit of 30 minutes fightin that hog. I sure had a good little load going back across though, dragging a 100 pound sow with a 60 pound cur dog riding on top of her, and carrying the CD by his vest. I guess if we arent getting on runners, we're getting on swimmers
