Can Puppies Swim?

At just 8 weeks old, cute Cavalier puppy Sherlock shows that swimming is instinctive!

[@divadaedalus]

Mark Spitz doesn’t have anything on Sherlock! 12 stitches! Pray you heal quickly and well.

[@lisamccutcheon1862]

Awww little sherlock he's doing so well. Hope your injury gets better soon.

[@juliegroves4210]

Awwww what a lovely little video of Sherlock showing his swimming skills. He’s a little darling and a very special little puppy! Hope you make a speedy recovery Charlie 👍

[@auntieeva4098]

Take care of that leg. Thanks for this video of Sherlock swimming. He's growing up so beautifully. Such a sweet baby.

[@karenhoward1843]

That puppy is the cutest. Please take care and rest yourself.

[@dawnmendez8375]

Dog paddle, back stroke and speed swimming! I knew Sherlock was an extra special boy! How fun to see him take so naturally to the water! Thanks for the fun videos! 🐶♥️

[@tammielpowell]

Wishing you a full, speedy recovery!

[@ruthdubois1160]

That was so cute to watch. It's unbelievable how instincts automatically set in. Little Sherlock did his dog paddle perfectly. Take care of yourself, Charlie! 12 stitches...nasty!

[@susandeslippe6449]

Sherlock is ready for the Olympics! He did so good! We love your videos and hope you heal quickly! Sue

[@gr8dane38]

Wishing you a speedy recovery... I adore Sherlock!

[@williamloree905]

You had me in stitches with that video of Sherlock in the pool.

[@delicatedragonfly2604]

Well done little Sherlock. You would qualify for the puppy olympics!

[@gloriamargolis581]

I’m so sorry you had a big Bo Bo and your in stitches 😢but I was also in stitches when I saw Sherlock swimming in the water 😂❤️🐶 it was a little fishy!🤣😂🤣🥲❤️🙏

[@sharonwynn-dx9md]

Sherlock is ready for the Olympics! So glad his paw is healed.

[@pocopoco6073]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Sherlock is doing so well :)

[@dulanjadewet4492]

Sherlock is such a good swimmer and he's gorgeous😊 Hope your leg heals quickly.

[@lindadeis4818]

I do love cavaliers! And why would there ever be a doubt about swimming - they’re spaniels! Sherlock is precious.

[@cathypearson1889]

Well done, Sherlock! 😂❤

[@francescrocker3878]

Sherlock is beyond adorable! And Apple is looking great too! I am glad you are ok! I felt like something was wrong when there was no post!

[@GabrielBadwolf]

Ouch that had to hurt. Lucky you didn’t cut your leg off. Hope it heals up well Charlie and get well soon. Sherlock is getting more and more adorable by the day.

[@triciawillis1363]

Charlie, I am so sorry to hear that you are injured. Heal well.

[@elliekinnebrew4291]

Yikes! - Chain saw wound! 12 stitches! Best wishes for a quick recovery. Thought something was going on when we hadn't heard from you for a few days. Thank you for the lovely video of Sherlock's first swim.

[@user-ke3cy4ri6i]

Sorry to hear about your injury--heal quickly! Loves the "speed swimming"!

[@marierakitsky171]

I can see your very proud of the handsome little man. I’m glad his foot and leg is correlated. Charley hopefully your leg heals nicely with not much pain.

[@susantomes6721]

Ouch!! Poor Charlie, that must have hurt! Hope it soon gets better.❤️‍🩹 How adorably cute Sherlock looks swimming, he seemed quite unfazed by his new experience.🐶

[@sharonnash1901]

Sherlock is doing so well. Love his swimming video

[@tabithasmith6558]

What a fabulous little swimmer. I’ve wondered how my cavalier would go in water but worry water will get in his ears. Maybe I should give him a go. Hope your leg heals well and soon

[@swimmymv]

Awwww❤ I also recently discovered that my caviler of 10 months likes the water but so far only walks in it - great doggie paddle Sherlock!

[@cathyu7275]

He is sooo cute. A good swimmer too.

[@pilarmontesfrechina1032]

Charlie espero que te recuperes pronto , cuídate mucho por favor!!! . Y del vídeo de Sherlock que te digo que no te haya dicho en otras ocasiones , que es el más bonito de todo youtube , que tiene mucha suerte de tenerte por toda tu dedicación y todo tu amor y he disfrutado muchísimo viéndolo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘

[@paulab984]

Our little Olympiad! I especially love the backstroke😂😅😊

[@kelsie_adams]

Sherlock is a spaniel, of course he can swim! So sorry about your injury. A neighbor did that exact thing last year but needed about 50 stitches - he had taken off the safety shield cause it just got in the way. (Men! His wound was very deep) hope you heal quickly. Apple was so concerned about her baby ❤

[@bonniesides6433]

Hope you heal well and fast! Loved Sherlock swimming!🏊

[@MissMelanieMoss]

Hilarious video! Go Sherlock, Go!!! 👏 before I place my cavalier in the water her starts paddling in the air before his paws even get wet 😂 it is the funniest thing

[@carmaarmstrong9743]

Take care of your leg, and hope it heals quickly! Sherlock is so cute swimming in that little pool! Good exercise for him!

[@patriciateague8677]

Speedy recovery to you.

[@jscook54]

This was one of your funniest videos. Although luckily NOT in stitches. Take care.

[@user-gz8hu3qy4m]

Oh my goodness! Hope your ok and heal up fast! Sherlock is doing a great job swimming! Love the speedy laps😂😂😂. Enjoy your weekend🎉

[@juliewilson8702]

Take care of yourself, Charlie! Thanks for the video.

[@annamarsh]

Adorable and a talented athlete ! Thank you Elissa for The Wide World of Sports camera work 🙂. Take care Charlie. No testing the strength of your 12 stitches with any projects you are undoubtedly already planning.

[@markandmandyd7445]

Hi Charlie.. As always cute video.. Look at Sherlock go.. Healing vibes sent your way about your leg and your 12 laughings.. Take care and get well soon and have a great day..

[@janhankins911]

Hope your leg heals quickly!! My husband wanted to get a chain saw and I said "NO" for that reason. Sherlock just keeps getting cuter. He's quite the athletic little guy. I shall miss him if he goes to a new home.

[@PRAISEJESUSCAVALIERS-ht2fp]

❤ Absolutely Adorable ❤

[@sandramerenda6603]

A joyful start to my day ❤It reminded me of my Bella🐾 The only Instinct she had was to drink as much water and drink it as fast as she could 😮‼️

[@thongsookviengkone7128]

Sherlock did an excellent job swinging.I dog can swim but didn’t know they swim so easily in life . Great job little. Just seeing growing to a beautiful little guy. Thank you for sharing and get well soon.

[@ChristysReborns]

Maybe leave the chainsaw chores to someone else 🤕. Aww so stinking cute. Look at him gooooo!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Hope you heal well and painlessly so you can swim with Sherlock, though in a bigger pool.

[@annettefertitta6868]

So precious!

[@chickie8252]

Thank you Charlie, that was an awesome video😅 Lady never went in a pool but I wish I had gotten it on film years ago she used to like to climb up the ladder to my daughter's wooden swing set and go into what is like a crow's nest on a ship. There is a slide connected to the crows nest.She would imitate my daughter and slide down the slide. We then had to lock up the ladder by our above ground pool because she attempted to climb that ladder once or twice!😮Later, She still liked to climb the ladder to my daughter's swing set but she couldn't get down so I would have to climb the ladder, put her on my lap slide down the slide to get her down😂

[@susanjacobsen4567]

Cute little video! Hope your leg heals quickly.

[@willowweed3696]

That is got to be great of getting strength in his legs!

[@nashguy207]

So sorry about your accident. Chainsaws can be dangerous. I require my employees to wear chainsaw chaps anytime they run a chainsaw also I have the helmets with ear protection for them to wear. Sherlock looked so cute swimming in the pool. He looked like he was having fun!

[@debbieturk8339]

How cute ❤ hope you heal quickly 😊

[@maureenbrooks6171]

That little face gets cuter every time I see him! Trying to saw your leg off is a bad idea. Just saying. I guess you've worked that out by now. Take care x

[@user-nv9dw2ec7s]

That was a fun video. Take care.❤

[@themayalls5594]

😅 Olympics next sherlock...get better soon dear ❤

[@beverlyfrazier4370]

Oh my a Chain Saw, oh my. I'm glad you still have your leg.❤ Chester is such a cutie pie. The line must be out of the door to adopt him. The lady that list her pup recently would make a great mom for Chester. Hint hint

[@beverlyfrazier4370]

I said Chester that's my dog oh my I'm getting old. I ment Sherlock.

[@Kentucky914]

Great video. Speedy healing for you. Apple is your nurse?

[@chaskat35]

Apple provides comfort ... and that's what Cavaliers are for!

[@fur3lis3]

My younger brother also had a run in with a chain saw (years ago), but he has upwards of 60 stitches. Scary incident. Heal up!

[@chaskat35]

I was lucky - it stopped just short of tearing the muscle.

[@fionaforward3358]

And to think some people take their dogs to swimming lessons!

[@annaritabarile4893]

Charlie, Annarita dall'Italia!😮😮Oh...cosa ti è successo...!!Hai rischiato il peggio🤷! Quando è successo?Spero che le mie preghiere quotidiane ti siano servite!Mi dispiace tanto😢😢 sono molto legata a te;Anche se lontani so che sei una persona sensibile come me!Ti voglio bene!E non farti più male, perché ti sarai fatto molto male!Ti dono tanti angeli che ti proteggono😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🌈🌈💖💖💖🌞🌞🌞🌞💐💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️! Bene Sherlock complimenti!😂😂😂😂😂

[@annaritabarile4893]

Ciao Charlie, Annarita dall'Italia, per me si avvicina la buona notte, quella che ti auguro!Come ti senti?Ti fa male? Stai a riposo, riguardati!Ti voglio bene😊😊🌻🌻🌻🥰😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

[@squibitbessy7382]

A chainsaw -ouch! I’m curious if lil Sherlock actually liked swimming or not if there was steps or a ramp for him to get in voluntarily would he go in I wonder. All my past cavaliers didnt like water but my sweet cavalier now, we particularly made an effort to get her used to water from a puppy having a shallow tray/pool of water outside and throwing a toy in there so she would fetch, so she doesn’t mind water and will go paddle in rock pools at the beach ect

[@chaskat35]

He seemed to enjoy it, but he was happy to come out. Some Cavaliers like water, and others dont - even though they are spaniels.

[@vla287]

😂

[@jenniferdunford9896]

I'm wondering if swimming therapy might have been good to strengthen and straighten his wayward front leg. But a tiny puppy, maybe not a good idea?? Anyway, he has excellent swimming form. Still cute as a button.

[@chaskat35]

I know they use hydrotherapy for older dogs, but I wouldn't subject a very young puppy to the stress and the chill.

[@marie-christinemontegu9503]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@joswearingen3507]

What do you use for flea and tick preventative? Struggling with ticks.

[@chaskat35]

We follow 3 steps: 1. Try careful grooming to rid the dog of fleas/ticks, 2. Treat the environment with something that's safe for pets, 3. If those steps fail, we give ONE SINGLE DOSE of Nexgard.

[@buymywings]

Yikes! 😮 12 stitches!! I guess the chainsaw won!
