No dog should start swimming before learning to walk and being comfortable on a lead with some degree of training. Pups are fine swimming provided they are equipped with a puppy or tiny dog life jacket for safety. Pups will tire quicker than bigger older dogs. Best also if you can go in the water and stay with your dog, to see whether he likes it, he may panic and want out. Take a water toy along to play with and paddle first to get your pup used to water, go slowly and safely.

Can a standard poddle puppie swim?

It depends. A puppy that has no experience in swimming may face difficulty at first, so you shouldn't leave the puppy alone in a deep pool. Same applies to an adult dog. Prevention is always better than curing. The puppy, however, may show natural talent for swimming and may excel at this sport soon enough. This is because the Standard Poodle was originally bred as a water dog in Germany, so this breed should be good at swimming.
