When I first got Tate I noticed he had webbed feet. We went rafting on a river in Washington State with two miniature poodles. Of course, the poodles could swim. As soon as Tate hit the water he sank to the bottom. I had to rescue my poor baby. That was when he was about 10 months old. Last month we were at the dog park and Tate was so adamant about stealing a toy from a Labrador that he jumped in the water, mimicked the dogs movements, swam out and stole the labs frisbee!
I was dumbstruck! Tate can swim and not only to get by. He swims well!
Does anyone know if Yorkies traditionally have webbed feet? I have heard some can swim and some can't. Would love to hear other people's stories about their swimming or non-swimming Yorkie's.
