Wanna watch us around the swimming pool? Never happening! Because of their somewhat ‘’bulbous’’ bodies, most French bulldogs can’t swim. They feature heavy bones and thick muscles.
These breeds have a characteristic smooshed face called brachycephalic, meaning they boast a short, wide skull.
In addition to their weight, the other core reason why bulldogs can’t swim has to do with their brachycephaly.
Due to their short snouts, they must tilt up their faces higher to remain out of the water. Since they’re tilted up, they have more trouble staying afloat.
What’s more is that their heavy torsos and short legs aren’t conducive to floatation.
