definitely a great time for me & my 3 buddies who came along. it was about 55 degrees that morning with water temp also in the 50s, & my shorthair didn't want to stand around in the water that's for sure!
a guy i know has a shorthair with a lot longer hair than mine, & his dog loves cold water. so i think it just depends on the breeding as to whether the dog will be useless in cold water or love it. either way, a shorthair owner needs to be real careful in the cold water as their coats don't insulate nearly as well as more typical duck dogs like a lab, chessie, or boykin
