Best kiddie pool for a corgi?

Does anyone have suggestions for a pool for a corgi? I would think getting in and out could be an issue. I have seen some photos on the site, but would like some reviews, good points, size, how it holds up etc.

I just have a cheap plastic kids wading pool for Penny and she loves it. I have had the same one for 2 years now and it's still holding up great.

We have an extra large one like this. It's not too hard to dump the water and we just store it in our shed for the winter:)

That looks sort of like the one we saw in Kmart!!

She looks so regal. I love that tail in the air! I just hate it that my baby's tail was docked. I recognized her

without noticing who had made the post.

We found a pool last year at PetsMart. It was great because the sides are a little shorter than a traditional "kiddie pool". The pups didn't seem to care for the water much so we put sand in it and they seemed to like that a lot better. However, we do need to replace it with another one because the side broke. The pool was around $10 last year. It was a great buy and am definitely going to buy another. Hope this helps some.

We just get the kiddie pools. The bigger ones work better but that's just because we have 3 dogs. They're favorite time is when we're filling it up....the water hose is like the vacuum cleaner, a mortal enemy....but they love splashing in and out and it help keeps them cool when they're playing..

I just have one of those plastic kiddie pools as well, Henry loves it. No problems getting in and out.

We have to buy a new pool every year. Our summers are incredibly hot so the combo of Ashton jumping in and out of the pool, filling and dumping water, and the heat makes the plastic brittle. We normally just buy the small approx. $10 pool since it is usually the one with the shorter sides which is much easier on little corgi legs.

Mine leap into it so it's not a problem. Thanks for reminding me, though: ours is much too small and we want to get a bigger one. Best to do it now because by May they'll all be gone from the stores. KMart had a nice big one that was still only normal kiddie-pool height.

El Cheapo Walmart plastic ones, cheap enough to be disposable :)

Thanks for reminding me!!

Last summer Bugsy was just a "baby" so we just used a cheap-o storage bin so he could sit in it. We live near a couple creeks & ponds and made LOTS of trips to those for a dip for the rare Welsh Tail-less River Otter ;-)

My son has one of those plastic sandboxes for his kids & that made a great impromtu pool for a visiting corgi! My granddaughter added the slide from the play set & we had quite contraption. I'll have to go get that video clip...
