Some Chugs like swimming and will take to the water whenever they can more especially when the weather is hot, but care should be taken because many of them have shorter muzzles which makes it harder for them to breath at the best of times which is especially true when they are swimming. However, if anyone who owns a dog that does not like water should never force them to go in because it would just end up scaring them. With this said, care should always be taken when walking a Chug off the lead anywhere near more dangerous watercourses just in case a dog decides to leap in and then needs rescuing.
