전통적으로 "개는 태어나면서 부터 수영을 할 수 있다!" 이른바 개해엄이 있으니까 .. 이런 생각 할 수도 있지만...

 

100%는 아니지만 천성적으로 물과 친하지 않은 견종이 있다고 합니다.

 

 

 

더운 여름철에 시원한 물에서 견주와 함께 수영장이나 물놀이 할 수 있는 곳에서 시간을 보내는 것도 좋지만

 

일부 견종은 수영을 잘 못한다고 하네요... 이런 견종의 경우 너무 수영을 강권하거나 수영을 가르치는 것은...

 

상황보면서 하길 ...

 

기본적으로 아래 유형의 반려견들은 수영에 소질이 없다고 합니다.

 

Three tips your pooch is not a natural paddler:

1) he has a larger, heavy chest; 가슴이 딱 벌어진 강아지들.

2) he has short legs; : 다리가 짧은 강아지들

3) he has a short muzzle (brachycephalic). : 단두종

 

 

대표적인 수영 소질 없는 10대 견종은 아래와 같습니다~

 


Pug : 퍼그 , 단두종의 대명사이죠.. 일단 코가 수영을 하기에 적합하지 않고 다리도 짧고...

딱봐도 그닥 물속에 들어가면 좀 어려워 보입니다.

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Pug

A brachycephalic breed of dog, this little guy’s short snout can cause shortness of breath which not only hinders his ability to swim for any length of time but makes it difficult for him to keep his muzzle above water. For flat-faced dogs to be able to keep their nose and mouth above the water-line they need to tilt their head upwards, causing their back end to tuck under their body and them to sink.  A life vest is imperative around pools.

Dachshund : 닥스훈트, 코도 길고(단두종도 아니고) 그렇게 대형견도 아닌데...  이 친구들은 다리가 짧습니다.

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Dachshund

Although this breed is relatively light-weight and his longer muzzle means he doesn’t run into the same water problems as a Pug or Bulldog, this breed’s short legs means he will never be a strong swimmer and will likely struggle to paddle for any length of time. Water sports should be contained to a sprinkler or a kiddy pool with water no higher than his shoulders. That said they can drown if tuckered out in shallow water so always keep a close eye on your little guy. (Photo credit: vagawi/Flickr)


Maltese : 말티즈, 몰티즈 많은 훈련을 하면 잘 할 수 있다고는 하는데...

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Maltese

While this small dog breed doesn’t carry the typical problem traits of non-swimmers with his lighter weight, smaller chest and full muzzle, he can experience challenges related to water play such as chills, arthritis and rheumatism. To ensure all playtime is safe and fun for this mini pooch, best to stick to dry land with games of fetch and catch. (Photo credit: Shek Graham/Flickr)

Bulldog : 불독 .. 수영 못할 조건을 잘 갖추고 있지요.. 딱 봐도 코로 물들어가기 좋지요, 다리도 짧지요, 머리도 크고요...

거기에 가슴도 넓어요

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Bulldog

This breed ticks all of those non-swimmer boxes. His short muzzle means he is considered a brachycephalic dog, his barrel chest, large head and short legs mean that he will never be able to paddle fast enough to support his own weight. In fact many breeders and rescue groups will require a home visit to ensure any family swimming pool is safely fenced. If he is to be near water, pet parents should ensure he is always supervised and wearing a life vest. (Photo credit: Annette Shaff/Shutterstock)


Basset Hound : 바셋하운드, 세상에서 가장 긴~~ 귀를 갖고 있지만 이 귀가 뜨지는 않는다네요.. 뜨지 않는다는 건 가라않는다는 걸

그리고 귀로 물이 들어간다는거..  거기에 머리 크고 다리짧고...

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Bassett Hound

Although this breed holds a record for possessing the world’s longest ears they’re unfortunately not flotation devices and therefore offer no support should this big boy find himself in deep water. In fact, his large head, dense bone structure and disproportionately short legs mean he is incapable of keeping himself afloat for any length of time. With lengthy ears that can be prone to waterborne infections, this natural born tracker would do best as a landlubber. (Photo credit: Grégory Szkudlarek/Flickr)


Chow Chow : 차우차우, 챠우챠우 일반적으로 대형견들은 수영을 잘한다고 알려져 있습니담... 이친구는 예외라네요..

넓은 가슴과 상대적으로 짧은 다리가 물과는 거리를 두게 한다고 하네요

그리고 털이 워낙 많아서 .... 이털에 스며드는 물의 무게가 보통이 아니라고 합니다.

더우기  얼굴에도 털이 엄청 많아서 이 털들이 물에 젖으면서 코를 막아버리고...

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Chow Chow

While we tend to consider larger dogs natural born swimmers, the Chow is an exception to this list because of his deeper chest and shorter legs. The flatter muzzle can also cause him shortness of breath and his thicker, heavy coat can easily become waterlogged and weigh him down. Extra caution should be exercised with this breed and for pet parents with a pool or who enjoy water sports, a properly fitted life vest would be a good investment. (Photo credit: Whitney H/Flickr)


Corgi: 코기, 대부분의 웰시코기 견종들, 이 견종들은 물을 좋아하지만 체형이 물에 뜨는 타입이 아니랍니다. 긴 코를 갖고는 있지만

다리가 짧고 넓은 가슴이 수영을 방해하네요

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Corgi

This sturdy little breed with the longer muzzle but dense body, large barrel chest and short legs will never be a strong swimmer. While they love the water, best to just let them wade chest-deep if they so desire or fill a kiddy pool during hotter weather and allow them to splash around.  If you take them boating, a life vest is a must.

Boxer : 박서, 긴다리가 딱 봐도 수영 선수 스타일일것 같은데.. 단두종 형태의 코가 수영과는 인연을 맺지 못하게 합니다.

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Boxer

Though his long legs may make him look like swimming would be second nature, this breed runs into the same challenges as Boxers and Pugs – he is considered brachycephalic. His flatter face and shorter muzzle means he will struggle to keep his face and nose above water and may run into shortness of breath if left to swim for too long. Water activities should be kept to a romp on the shore, run under the sprinkler or playtime in a kiddy pool versus a swim.  (Photo credit: Tom Wood/Flickr)


Staffordshire Bull Terrier: 스타포드셔 불 테리어 ,  머리가 커서 슬픈 테리어... 머리 무게때문에 수영이 힘들다는..

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Staffordshire Bull Terrier

While this athletic, spirited dog loves his exercise, his solid, dense muscle mass makes him heavier and not inclined to take up swimming. Add to this a head size and weight that tends to be disproportionate to that of his body and you’ll find that it can be very difficult for him to keep his head above water for any length of time. Best to tire him out on land! (Photo credit: Chris Stickley/Flickr)


Shih Tzu : 시추, 시쭈  이친구는 딱 봐도 수영과는 거리가 멀어보이죠.. 머리도 크고 코도 물 위로 내밀기 어려워 보이고,

다리도 짧고 털이 너무 많아서 물에 뜨기에 역부족....

Dog Breeds That Can’t Swim: Shih TzuSimilar to the Maltese, this little guy can quickly catch a chill and although he may give it his best shot, swimming can be a struggle due to his tiny muzzle and small legs. His fuller coat can also become water-logged while swimming, weighing him down, covering his face and making breathing difficult. And remember, tiny dogs can become frightened or nervous in open water, making the overall experience unpleasant.  (Photo credit: Elenarts/Depositphoto)

 

이렇게 물과 거리가 있는 친구들은 자력으로 물속에 들어가기 보다는 좋은 친구들이 필요 합니다.

 

그리고 물놀이 할 때는 구명조끼를 권장합니다.
