Can boxers swim? I know one that ran off a dock and sank like a stone! (Was rescued.)

Emma avoids the step thing too, but loves a gradual beach, mostly to rip through the edge at breakneck speed without actually swimming. Boxers CAN swim. Crosby is probably very comfortable and good at it.
Emma, moreso than most in her breed, has an extremely deep, thin chest, that IMO gives her a propensity to hold air in a way that would flip her. So she has a flotation device, but we haven't worked out the anxiety stuff yet.
I have some frozen liver for rewards if you wanna try doggie in the pool swim training. or we could just let them enjoy each other. Sounds like fun just to have you two over...
