Are English bulldogs good swimmers

Answer: Bulldogs can not swim as they have to small legs to keep their large, muscular body afloat

Answer: Actually, my 3 year old, pure-bred, English bulldog swims very well. He loves the water! Craves me throwing sticks for him to swim out and get! While their legs are small the front paws are very wide and until he learned to use the back legs a bit (mostly as rudders but they do paddle as well) he relied soley on his front paws.

English bulldogs are in many cases a product of their environment. If you feed the heck out of them and limit their excercise, they'll go with that and slowly evolve into a peice of furniture. If you get them walking and playing twice a day, they crave activity. With walks being hard on them in the heat, swimming is a godsend. He's wiped for hours after a good swim. Great on the hips, great cardio and makes him squeeky clean too!
