loriusgarrulus Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I was interested in the discussion on webbed feet for labradors and Newfies and looked up what other breeds have them. Know my setter has them as I spend ages clipping the feathering between his toes to stop them getting mud and ice packed in them. Found this list. Interesting to note that most are hunting dogs. Other webbed-footed dogs include the Chesapeake Bay retriever, Akitas, Brussels griffon, Irish setter, standard poodle, golden retriever, German wirehaired pointers, German shorthaired pointers, Irish water spaniels, Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers, otter hounds, redbone coon dogs, Spanish waterdog, Weimaraners and wirehaired pointing Griffons.

The body lays sort of inert very low in the water and level and the backbone curves as the dog steers ( its fascinating to watch and staggering what currents they can actually work quite comfortably in and yet still perfectly relaxed). Mine has taken to dipping his head right under randomly while just playing around in the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Apparently 50% of pitbulls have webbed feet too. I have heard the pitbull and the Chesapeake have a link though nobody can say for sure the Newfie and a ships mongrel are said by many to have been the foundation stone of the Chesapeake but failing records who can say. When you think on Ches colours and build / attitude this is perhaps feasible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver pigeon69 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Also FYI some labs(not sure about other dogs) have a "Beaver tail" which aids with swimming and steering! (suppose you want a picture of that as well?? or is it just feet your into! Lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver pigeon69 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 No joke, although should be. Otter or Beaver take your pick, do a google search just as many come up for either term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show google aint always you friend a beaver has a big flat paddle for a tail which it will slap on the water as a warning to other beavers in the event of danger. An otter a thick well furry one thick at the base with a slow taper to the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would try to get a picture of my chesapeake's webbed paws, but given that she is a. very ticklish on the paws and b. goes mad at the mere sight of a camera, you'll have to take my word for it.

kent Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 My goldens have webbed feet sadly cameras not waterproof so no chance of a picture Are those Newfoundland any good at retrieving always fancied one All the best Of They are / were bred for it (not game and fowl mind but ropes and nets) they also retrieve swimmers who get in to trouble off parts of our coast. Problem as a wildfowling dog is you need to dig a hellishly big hole to hide them in (though I suppose they are potentially the doo dahs for keeping you warm on a February moon flight LOL).
