Oh there is no way in God's green earth I would ever risk my dog's life over a duck sending him out when he has to pull himself up onto ice to get back, not going to happen. I was thinking that the ice could possibly cause injury, cutting/poking him or something, the water that I mainly hunt here is only 1-1/2 feet deep max so drowning isn't an issue, he is running more than swimming through the slough. As well what sort of risk is hypothermia, the one morning was -8, that just can't be comfortable getting wet and having to sit in the blind.
