Will a half labrador retriever half bloodhound swim?

Dogs are born with a natural ability to swim. However, not all Dogs enjoy swimming and will avoid water. The Labrador Retriever was first bred by fishermen in Newfoundland, where it was required to swim out and retrieve the fishing nets. The breed also has webbed paws to help them swim and most really enjoy going for a swim. Bloodhounds were not bred to be used around water so do not have the in-built instinct for it. However, Dogs of any breed can enjoy swimming, whether they were bred for it or not.
