Twenty years ago, we bought a pure bread Chocolate Lab and we named him Barkley. The dude was dysfunctional in so many ways. We'd put him in water and he'd sink like a stone. I hate to say that I'm glad he died young.
BTW, he died from getting in the trash and eating corn cobs. The vet said corn cobs are vastly worse than chicken bones. In fact, he said he's never seen a dog die from chicken bones.
I used to raise black labs for field trials. I'd start them at 6 weeks old swimming and they would be ready to go to their new homes at 8 weeks. Never once did I have a pup that wouldn't swim. All it takes is one to go in and they all decide they need to go in also.
Teaching them to be gator food, huh....
