Why Labradors are Awesome Swimmers

Labradors Love the Water

Labradors are known for their love of water. They have a natural instinct to swim and are often referred to as water dogs. This makes them great swimmers!

Webbed Feet

One of the reasons Labradors are such good swimmers is because of their webbed feet. These special feet help them paddle through the water with ease, making them efficient swimmers.

Strong Build

Labradors have a strong build with powerful muscles, especially in their back legs. This gives them the strength and endurance to swim long distances without getting tired easily.

Water-Repellent Coat

Another reason Labradors excel at swimming is because of their water-repellent coat. This helps keep them warm and dry while in the water, allowing them to swim comfortably for longer periods of time.

Natural Instinct

Labradors have a natural instinct to retrieve objects, which is why they are often used as hunting and rescue dogs. This instinct also plays a role in their love for swimming, as they enjoy fetching objects from the water.

Training

With proper training and guidance, Labradors can become even better swimmers. Teaching them basic commands and water safety can help them become confident and skilled swimmers.

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats Today, I am super excited to share my techniques for making another truly wholesome dog treat with you. After-all, your furry companions deserve healthy food, so that they can be their best selves. These pup treats are the perfect snack to make ahead of time for your cuddly pooch as a reward for their love and companionship, obedience, potty-training, or for any other training in general.  My fur baby seems to think that the treats taste better when they're made in different cute shapes. So, I use three different cookie cutters when I make these dog treats. Plus, using different cookie cutter sizes also allows me to make good use of the leftover dough pieces. The three shapes that I am using for this recipe are a gingerbread man, a star, and a flower-shaped cookie cutter. (I use regular cookie cutters to make mine.) If you don't have any cookie cutters, that's okay too. After rolling out the dough, cut it into squared-shaped pieces, or use a...
