I agree , syd.. I have had a couple of swimmers - they were the ones I had
nicknamed "Jabba the Hut".. the big fat, lazy puppy that squirms his way to the
nipple and never leaves..
I can't see how that could be hereditary

the breed avoids another pitfall. Everyone wins.

I disagree. I have never found swimmer syndrome to be hereditary, thru over
7 generations of my dogs, with a rare swimmer, maybe 4 in 30 years.
Inherited from where? If the parents did not exhibit it, and the grandparents
didn't,
and on and on, how can it be hereditary? I have bred a swimmer, and
subsequent progeny, no swimmers from those animals. My ROM Andretti bitch
Safari had
a swimmer in her first litter. She never had another, and in two other
Andretti sister breedings to the same male, no swimmers. I believe it comes
from
puppies that like to sleep on their tummies, much as babies who sleep on their
backs can develop a flat head, unless turned. Simple cause and effect, in my
opinion. Shalom, Syd
