I know that there are some pugs that enjoy the water, but all the pugs I've personally known hate the water, whether it's falling from the sky or on the ground. So unlike the retrievers that are enjoying the water, these three pugs make very poor swimmers since they refuse to jump into the pool (even with goggles and life vests).
We have a new pool in the back yard. Chunky fell in twice this summer. He doesn't swim well and had to be rescued. I think that's why they hate water. It scared him but not enough to keep away from the edge; the need to be with his people overrides his need for personal safety.
