Does your Yorkie swim? 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!:eek: 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. |
I haven't tried it yet. i went swimming yesterday at my grandma's house and was going to try bringing molly in to see how she would do but then i got in and decided it was still too cold. even though its so damn hot outside. i will probably try nxt month. |
i took cleo swimming for the first time sunday. the water was still kind of cold so she didn't stay in. i just held her until i got deep enough and then let her go. she swam to the steps and got out, but was very willing to do it again. we did it twice and then she sunbathed to dry. my big dog loves the pool, so i hope that she will be a swimmer also. |
I don't know... This will be Fancy's first summer, I plan on taking her though when we go swimming somewhere - after the weather warms up.;) I hope she will like it. |
Both my guys can swim. We visit my in-laws' home on the lake every summer - and we throw the ball into the water - Wylie flies into the water, swims out to fetch - he LOVES to swim in the lake. Marcel fetches Wylie. Marcel can swim just fine - but even a small wake on the lake can go over his head (he's 3 lbs). We have a pool at home, and they don't really like it as much - probably the smell/chemicals. :) |
Last month was the first time Pasquale went into the water. He doesnt really "swim"...its more of ...jump jump jump. He stays near the beach in the shallow part and just jumps around and gets wet LoL :rolleyes: |
My dream is to walk on the beach with Buddy and let him play in the surf. All we have available to us is the dirty Hudson River and that ain't happening. I think about it all the time. I wish I were closer to the ocean and a beach. Yorkies have webbed feet? I don't think Buddy does, I don't remember seeing that on him:confused: |
Hi Tate is so cute. I have 3 Yorkies and they all swim in my pool. I have life jackets for them Check out my pics and you'll see them |
I cant wait until it gets warmer to try Tia in the water.She has been by the sea but didnt brave it, although I was quite worried too.I think Ill probably get one of those kids paddling pools and try her in the garden first. Love the life jackets Im wondering if they sell them here in the uk. |

Tate's parens were both really large Yorkies but who knows exactly who their parents were before them? He has a gimpy toe too so who know's.. Tate's just cute and defective... and he can swim.. Maybe he's part Labrador? (Labradorkie?) |
Both mine love to swim. We usually have life jackets on them when we take them out in the water with us. The first time Hot Rod was in the water he splashed water everywhere. After the initial shock he did well and even jumped in on his own! Maggie loved the water! Lil stinkers loves to be in the hot tub with us. |

Not swimming weather for my little girl yet. Have a friend who has a yorkie. Said she'd swim all the way across the lake if she'd let her. She keeps her on a leash so she can have fun & friend has control over her. |
i took molly swimming yesterday but i don't think she really enjoyed it lol. the water was really cold...so i just held her and then let her go to see if she would swim and she did. she wasn't going to the stairs though she kept trying to get out from the side. so when the water warms up i think she will like it better. |
I'm really excited to take Jackson swimming this summer! I think he will REALLY like it. My grandma lives right on the Chesapeake Bay with a beach behind her so I'm anxious to take Jackson over there. And my dad has a pool at his house! |
