Our Holly was a border collie-terrier mix, and adored water. Not that I especially remember her being wild about rain, as such, but she would go MAD WITH HAPPINESS whenever we went up to the summer house at the lake, and would spend more or less every waking moment trying to cajole someone into throwing her ball into the lake so she could swim out and get it. Over, and over, and over, and over...
Maybe she learned it from my aunt's Lab, who was the swimmingest dog you ever did see. She was also not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and used to jump in the lake after us kids and swim in circles around us, trying to guide us to shore, because obviously we were drowning even though we'd been swimming in there for her entire life.
Oh, and for dogs and dislike of wet, I trust you have read and laughed hysterically at this (http://www.missdoxie.com/current.html).
