Pool Liner Company, LOOP-LOC, Reveals Which Dog Breeds Are More Likely to Take a Swim

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., June 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Safety pool cover and pool liner manufacturer, LOOP-LOC, reveals which dog breeds are more likely to take a swim.

Labrador Retriever. A lab is one of the most popular family dogs. Interestingly, they were originally bred to retrieve game from the water. As a result, they are excellent swimmers and will jump right in the pool!

Standard Poodle. The origin of the name poodle means "to splash," which is quite fitting since the poodle was also bred to be a water dog to retrieve waterfowl. Poodles love the water—especially shaking it out of their curly fur after a dip in the pool.

Newfoundland. This dog may look more like a bear than a dog, but this breed that hails from the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, was a working dog on both land and in the water. One of its water chores was rescuing swimmers in distress. No doubt a Newfoundland may the furriest backup lifeguard that can be found poolside.

Irish Water Spaniel. This breed of spaniels is one of the oldest known spaniel breeds—with origins as a sporting dog and water retriever—and undoubtedly makes the perfect pool companion.

Portuguese Water Dog. This dog used to call the coast of Portugal home, and herded fish into nets as well as retrieved lost fishing equipment. Today, this breed is happy to splash in the pool.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever. This breed of retrievers is known as one of the toughest—as they have no problem swimming and diving into ice cold water. Their coat is nearly waterproof, comprised of a dense undercoat and a wind-resistant outer coat. This breed will swim even on the cloudy days!

Golden Retriever. This breed's love of swimming comes from being a sporting dog and accompanying hunters to retrieve waterfowl. It has no qualms swimming with its family throughout the endless summer days.
