Dogs that are good swimmers Generally medium to large dogs will be good swimmers some, such as Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Irish Setters, and Newfoundlands, all of which are excellent swimmers. The swimming ability of these dogs is mainly due to the fact that they have strong limbs, while this ability may also be present in their genes. Dogs that are not good swimmers have short heads and short legs are not very good swimmers, such as Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Boxers, Puggs, etc. Dogs with short legs do not have enough leg strength to keep them afloat in the water. Dogs with special facial structures like short-nosed dogs try their best to breathe with their heads tilted up in order not to choke, causing the back end of their bodies to sink with force and unable to swim in the water for too long because of their short noses.
