Just as there are dogs that love the water, there are dogs that hate it. This can be due to several reasons, such as coat type, face shape, overall size, or even personality. But it is important to note that while there are breeds that naturally don’t like water, any dog can hate it due to bad past experiences. Here are five dogs whose genes don’t include a love for water! AZ Animals is the source for this survey.

Chihuahuas are known for being feisty and independent but also loyal and affectionate toward their owners. Chihuahuas tend to avoid water because they have a low tolerance for cold temperatures and can easily get chilled. In addition, their small size makes it difficult for them to stay afloat in the water, leading to stress and fear. Have you ever seen a Chihuahua swimming before?

Pugs are small, friendly, and affectionate dogs that are widely known for their squished, wrinkly faces. Because they have short snouts and flat faces, they have trouble breathing while in and around water. They can also develop health problems and skin or ear infections if they get too wet. Pugs also tend to overheat when active, and intense water activities can make it hard for them to regulate their body temperature. Have you ever had a Pug for a pet?

Boxers are medium-sized dog breeds with confident and energetic personalities. Originally bred as hunting dogs and military dogs, they have settled more into the family lifestyle. Despite their energetic nature, Boxers are not typically partial to water. They have a short, smooth coat that does not provide much insulation or protection against cold water. Hence, this dog breed can easily become chilled or uncomfortable. Like Pugs, they have a short snout, making it difficult to breathe while swimming. Were you aware that Boxers are not fond of water?

Greyhounds are known for their incredible athletic ability, speed, and grace. Although they are athletic and playful, greyhounds are not so happy in the water. Their very short and thin coats make it harder to stay warm in the water, and their thin skin also makes them more susceptible to sunburn, which is amplified when in and around water. As a result, water activities with these dogs are risky and can create health problems if not handled correctly. Have you ever owned a Greyhound?

Also known as the "Weiner Dog" or "Sausage Dog", the Dachshund is a small dog breed that is very easily identifiable by its elongated body shape and short legs. Dachshunds do not usually enjoy the water. Their odd body shape makes it hard for them to keep afloat. Because they are so low to the ground, they cannot handle very deep waters. Their long bodies can also put them at risk of injury if they participate in water activities, so if you have a Dachshund, it's best to keep it clear of the water. Have you ever seen a Dachshund swimming?
