Dogs have the innate ability to swim. Unlike humans who need swimming lessons, most puppies somehow just know how to swim. A dog’s swimming style is called “the doggy paddle”–where they paddle with their front and hind legs, and their bodies glide through the water. (Note: keep in mind that some dogs are better swimmers than others and should always be carefully introduced to water for their first swim!)
However the Doberman in the video below has a unique swimming style. It’s like vertical swimming! It seems as though this dog is standing on the water and is paddling using only his front paws! Check out the video below!
Achilles the Dobie: Natural born swimmer.
He glides effortlessly through the water with style and finesse. You’d barely know he was there.Posted by Packwalker – Dog Behaviour Training on Tuesday, April 5, 2016
LOL! That swimming style sure is different from the usual doggy paddle we know!
