Never real thought about it til now but can a three legged dog (front leg missing) swim?
A daft question ..

No idea. Perhaps a canine hydrotherapy centre would know the answer?

Yes, at least according to the YouTube videos (there are a few, but I just picked the first one I came across) :smile3:

I wondered the same thing not so long ago! :smile3: Difficult to tell the speed of the dog in the video, but to my eye it seems to be having little trouble and swimming fairly strongly. Might be different for a hindleg amputation though, I'd imagine it would be much more difficult.
