        What type of water?
My second dog drank like a fish at my parents house until she got used to the water. They are on a well.
She eventually got used to the water but that was only when she went to live there after I retired her.

I used to give her bottled water which amused everybody.

Maybe he's a natural dipsomaniac.  But excessive drinking can be a sign of
diabetes, or kidney problems.
