Not all dogs can swim naturally. While many dog breeds are instinctive swimmers, others may struggle or even be afraid of water. Breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Newfoundlands are known for their swimming abilities due to their body structure and webbed feet. On the other hand, breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs may find swimming difficult because of their physical characteristics, such as a stocky build or short snouts, which can make it hard for them to keep their heads above water.

It's important to introduce your dog to water gradually and observe their comfort level. Always supervise your dog around water and consider using a life jacket for breeds that are less confident swimmers. Training your dog to swim can be a fun activity, but safety should always come first!
