Intex Pool

[SamsonsMom]

So, I'm thinking of getting Samson and Asher a pool for the back yard. Intex has this 10' x 30" pool that I really like. Has a pump.

They also have a 15' x 48" pool as well. Bit pricier.

My goal is to get the boys some exercise. I think it would be just as good to have a pool that they can easily touch the bottom. I would get in with them (likely one at a time) and play. Thoughts on the benefits? One pool vs. the other? My brother in law will build me a mini deck area with ramp going in and then some steps (or a ramp) to get out of the pool.

Forgot to add --- I wonder if Samson would try to jump in while out alone in the back yard? The ramp into the pool will have hinges that I will flip up. I have to think outside the box with that guy.

my mom gets one every 3 years or so for herself lol...she calls it her disposable jacuzzi.

I buy the 10 x 30 every summer. All of my dogs enjoy it, they lay on floaties, splash around. Yes your dog will be able to jump in, my labs can easily jump in without any ramps or assistance but they are trained only to get in when I say so. I also keep it covered most of the time when we arent in there, that deters them as well from just jumping in

As far as exercise goes, there isnt a whole lot of that with the 10
x 30, its just not big enough for my labs to actually swim but they do play and run quite a bit in the yard afterwards which is something I normally dont let them do during the summer here, unless they are wet. Our temps reach 105 plus for months straight. Having water for them to play in saves my sanity during the extreme heat

Thanks. I'm still debating on the size.
