Are Labradors Truly the Best Swimmers?

Labrador Retrievers were specifically bred to excel at water retrieving. Their coats have a natural oily quality that helps repel water, making them well-suited for swimming. Some Labs absolutely love the water and it seems to be ingrained in their DNA. It’s truly a “Lab Thing” to see these beach-loving dogs having the time of their lives splashing around.
