Many dogs like water but, of course, there are exceptions.
Certain dog breeds dislike swimming because their bodies are simply not built for it. They struggle to stay afloat, breathe normally, or regulate their temperature, turning swimming into an unpleasant experience.
That’s why you should always consider your pal’s physical characteristics before taking them to the beach or pool.
