Dog breeds that like swimming

Probably the best breed for swimming are are Chesapeake bay retrievers. The were bred for swimming, and thoroughly enjoy swimming. Also Otterhounds can spend hours in the water. Newfounlands are also quite good as they have webbed feet.

Labradors enjoy swimming but like many dogs who can swim, they cannot swim under adverse conditions, so a dog life jacket is the answer to be safe with any dog going in swimming or just walking and playing near water.
