According to foreign media reports, there is a 35 kg Dachshund in the United States (detailed introduction), which can be called the world's fattest Dachshund. To help this dog reshape a slim figure, the owner plans to help the Dachshund lose excess fat through dieting and swimming. Many friends doubted whether the dog could swim after seeing this report. So, can a Dachshund swim?

Next, we interviewed Ms. Liu, who has four years of experience raising Dachshunds. She now raises two lovely Dachshunds. "At first, I also didn’t believe dogs could swim, and I didn’t dare to take them to the swimming pool. To test whether the dog really could swim, I prepared a very large basin at home, filled it with water, and put the dog in it. At first, it was very scared, but after several times, it could swim freely," said Ms. Liu.

Through Ms. Liu’s example, it can be said that dogs can swim after training. Mr. Wang, who works in a pet store, said: “Many dogs are born knowing how to swim, but because they have never been in water before, they are a bit afraid when first exposed. However, through the owner’s training, they can swim better.”

Regarding the foreign media report, the fattest Dachshund in the US can lose weight through dieting and swimming, and the owner hopes to help the dog lose half its weight. It is believed that through long-term effort and persistence, the dog can achieve this. For friends who have doubts about whether Dachshunds can swim, we hope this report helps you understand.

When a dog first comes into contact with water, do not throw it into a deep river. It’s best to let it become familiar with swimming after several training sessions, then put it into the pool to swim together with you. This can also be a kind of fun.
