Do most newfs know how to swim instinctively, or do they have to be taught? ARe there newfs who can't swim?
Today Quinn went in a pond a bit deeper than he normally dares. He looked like he was going to go under but he somehow managed to pull himself up and out. I thought I was going to have to go in a rescue him!
He's had lots of water exposure from a young age, but since we got him in November we haven't yet been able to get in the water with him. He normally goes in just deep enough for the water to touch his belly.
I'd like him to swim...I think! How do we teach him?
Pardon if this question has been asked a million times already.
