I've
owned many Dobermans and never had one that could swim very good. Most don't
like water at all.
My first Doberman went with us to visit my parents. Belle ran into the
yard and into the pool. We watched in horror as she sank to the bottom,
motionless. Then she slowly floated to the top where we grabbed her and pulled
her out. She never attempted to swim. She was in shock I think. My other Dobes
never were around water, but I would think they would behave in the same
manner.
