DOG FAQ - Can Bulldog swim?

No swimming pools!!! Although most bulldogs like water, most will sink like a rock. The rule of thumb is bulldogs can not swim, no if and or buts about it. Secured fences around a pool is not an acceptable solution. It only takes one mistake for the bulldog to get through a left open gate and into the pool. Kiddy pools are fine as long as the water is only an inch or so deep. The water level should be low enough allow the bulldog to lay down in the water without it rising about the arm pit. Anything over an inch or two is to deep for the bulldog's safety.
