Webbed Feet

Webbed feet in dogs is a physical characteristic that is present in certain breeds, such as the Newfoundland, the Labrador Retriever, and the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. These breeds have webbing between their toes that helps them swim more efficiently. This webbing acts like a natural paddle, increasing surface area and allowing the dog to move through water with more ease and power.

Webbed feet also provide added buoyancy, making it easier for these breeds to stay afloat. Webbed feet are not only useful for swimming, but also in activities such as hunting, retrieving and water rescue. These breeds are known for their excellent swimming abilities and often used as water rescue dogs.
