in the late 1990s I had a little 45lb female pitbull I named Solange. She dove to the bottom of a pond I took her to and picked up a brick and brought it to the shore and chewed on it. yet she never showed much aptitude for regular swimming, guess she just liked to dive for bricks?
There are dog breeds that are bred in particular for this purpose. Lagotto is one of them. Fishermen use them to pick up gear that they drop in to the water.
Amazing! Initially afraid of and confused in the water, then suddenly a skilled swim diver. Chief is like a human who was afraid of heights, then realized they could FLY and loved it.
PLEASE make this a book! The first thing I thought when I saw that dog diving... That might help someone overcome fear of water. And then he said he was always terrified of scuba diving (me too), but now he's certified. But I really love the poetic way he describes the dog swimming like a seal. "He's just sitting there gracefully. Spiraling down. Spinning around. Like a harbor seal, on the way down.". There is a beautiful story here.
"I had to get certified in scuba to keep up with him.". True confessions! He holds his breath underwater 25 seconds. This is the most unusual example of a dogs athletic ability ever - maybe he should have his own Olympic event???
Amazing! That is super cool your dog like he’s having a blast! Just be cautious of your dog getting water intoxication. It’s called hyponatremia. If he is playing for not too long it should be fine but if your playing with him for awhile that’s when you should be cautious. All that being said your dog is just living his best life. 🥰👍🏻
I had a German Shorthair as a boy that would go into a muddy ditch with 4 and 5 foot of water after softball size rocks and recover them every time. He couldn't see in this water so we wanted to make sure he was retrieving the same rock and painted one. Whatever rock we tossed in he would retrieve the same one.
He’s got a ton!! But for whatever reason, he will lose them so easily and just resort to pretty much anything else. Pool filters, leaves, bricks, logs, tree branches, hardened soil, mulch- anything scattered in a backyard.
I've met this dog - he's is the sweetest puppers ever! He lives to dive that's for sure. He was in two shelters before finding his forever home with this family. He is living an amazing life now that's for sure.
A literal sea doggo. I wonder how he deals with the pressure underwater.
Good question
Mine would be dose he hold his breath. I have always wondered that when I see a dog dive under water.
Needs an otter friend.
A domestic seal 🦭
At 8 feet deep ? No pressure.
😂😂😂 this is my first time I've ever seen dog can dive like he said he's like a professional diver

I’ve seen one dog on Dodo who can dive too. But this other dog dives for rocks at the bottom of lakes and streams.
Wow, I've never seen a dog THAT comfortable swimming underwater.
Chief literally swims better than I do! Absolute love!
Lol omg that's the coolest dog I've ever seen. He's truly living his best life.
I was literally like this the whole time I watched this: 😲🤯 Dogs are just so great.
😂❤
That dog loves his brick more than his owners 😂
Do the bricks ever damage his teeth? Just a bit worried... Maybe the heavy log is better? Enjoy Scuba Dog, he's awesome! 🐶
More than his owners love the brick
I don't think bricks soften that quickly. If it had been underwater in the ocean or a lake for years, maybe.... Anyway, nice dog.
This sweetie is amazing. He would keep me in great shape since I couldn't deny him his play time. Adorable
I’m always amazed when dogs will submerge their head. Chief is head and shoulders above that. So cool!
Incredible!! He creates so much fun for himself!

One of the smartest dog
I can say with much confidence that I have never seen anything like this in my life. And I love it.
that doggo must have been a seal in a previous life....
Também acho!😂👍😍😍😍
He was bred for this actually
He is a seal in this life as well 😁
I tried holding my breath with him and couldn’t keep up. That’s incredible
Well, I guess that's your sign to hit the treadmill and stay off the donuts!
@@L.u.c.i.d well I walk 5 miles a day and don’t eat donuts so that’s definitely not the problem
@@L.u.c.i.d well i guess it’s time for you to get off youtube and stop hating on other peoples lives who just leave innocent comments!
@@tallouse2146 don’t even bother with these people bro they’re not worth your time honestly
@@RonnyBoy504 thank you 😊

This would make a great kids book I think!
I think that is an AMAZING idea!
@@KingViking12 Now I just need Chief to teach me how to write…
@@officialdivingdog Hah! 🤩 It's him!
Omg, never seen a dog swim like that ❤️🐶 and the fact that he made his dad learn to swim 😀 so cute
Your dog was once a dog of the sea (sealion). Reincarnated into the dog of the land. So cute
That spiral technique🌀🤌👏❤
To think that he challenged and taught himself how to do this. No fear, no after thought….Just do it….Nike!!!!! Hahah……Animals are just amazing!
Took a Windsurfing class in college as a PE credit, the instructor had a Black Lab that would dive and get anything too. Was amazing to see.
That’s so funny! Smart dog!😂❤❤
He’s half seal! ❤
Amazing diver!
Ma è favoloso questo simpatico peloso!!Nuota molto meglio di me😁💙
Omg he's such a cutie. Smart and very loved too. He's one athletic, happy doggie.
Wow!! If you bring that dog to a nice clear lake, his mind will be blown!
That's one happy dog right there! I want a dog like him.
I’ve been to their house it’s awesome watching him!
To say this is INCREDIBLE.... is an understatement! Way to go, Chief!
*Wow, that dog is seriously impressive! Looks like he's having the time of his life.*
Adorable!!
What a cool dog!
Ive never seen anything like this dog diving before...its so cool to see
If you inspire your own owner, you are a good damn dog
Oh he is so awesome! I've never seen this before! Bet he's in great shape!
Wow he is an amazing dog❤️🤩🫶🏽😍
Chief is having so much fun diving for his toys!! you can tell how much he loves water.
Great exercise
What a good, clever boy!
This dog got skills
❤ omg what a life, i loved everything about this
Great swimmer
So amazing! He’s a diving doggie! How inspiring. ❤
One word.... AWESOME‼️‼️‼️🐾🐾🐾👍🏾👍🏾
Amazing
incredible dog
In Denmark anyone thats glad for water we say he / she is a water dog, but i think this guy have most Danes beat on the water thing.
This would be a great opportunity for Sir David Attenborough to narrate about a dog that likes to submerge, lol
Dogs are really special. I'm 45, got my first puppy a few years ago. I never new dogs were really this smart and loyal.
Happy doggo in the waters❤
This is utterly AMAZING! 😎 Chief just got himself a new fan in Chicago Illinois 🙂 Tean CHIEF, All day long!!!
what a wonderful doggo
Amazing n awesome
Just beautiful 😍❤️😍❤️😍

That's a great exercise. A tired dog is a happy dog.
Completely agree on that
That dog has some mad skills!
He has such a wonderful personality!
i want to be this dog, no cares in the world, just swimming most of the time, and enjoying life
Now he is young and healthy, and full of fun and energy. Do love him dearly and please don't abandon him when you have enough of him.
Cool doggy!!! 🏐🏊🏻🥑🐾🦴💦
My dog is like this and rocks. She loves to get them from the water at the parks and loves when I throw them back in the water.
What a truly amazing dog!!
Thank you 😊
You made my day
That’s awesome! I’ve never seen a dog that likes to dive.
Great camera quality!
He’s crossbred with a seal! 🤣

He's soooo awesome. Love him.
What a awesome dog and he is very intelligent!!
Beautiful dog and so athletic!
He actually is the best diver in the world. He needs those hard rubber sinking toys that won't chip his teefs.
He’s got a ton!! But for whatever reason, he will lose them so easily and just resort to pretty much anything else. Pool filters, leaves, bricks, logs, tree branches, hardened soil, mulch- anything scattered in a backyard.
All I can say is WOW !!!! 🎉😊🐶🤩
unreal. what a dog. Thanks for the share
That is one fit puppy
Pupfin….. part pup … part dolphin… very special and lovable doggie…
First time my dog went diving I was worried, but turns out some animals like swimming. Just have to watch for swimmers ear
What a great dog. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐕🐕🐕🐕
..incredibile!😊❤❤
It truly is!
it's all about the corkscrew-dive, for me
Couldn't stop laughing 😂 he's so cute. I'd be afraid giving him a brick because of his teeth.
Omg I would panic
He’s beautiful
Great dog👍🏻having a blast
What a talented and joyful dog
He must have been a seal in his past life🤔😁😄
Que coisinha mais linda esse cão mergulhador!!
You are so lucky to have found such a unique and wonderful dog. I am truly jealous 😫
I've met this dog - he's is the sweetest puppers ever! He lives to dive that's for sure. He was in two shelters before finding his forever home with this family. He is living an amazing life now that's for sure.
Sweet child
I love this video! That doggo is too flippin cute!
This wonderful dog is a treasure!
Beautiful 😊 she just loves the pool 😊
This dog should be diver in the Navy. He is a fearless diver. Cool doggie.
Wow! He's using some really advanced breathing techniques. He'd make a great lifeguard.
That’s very impressive
That's really incredible. Very special. He should be trained as a lifeguard aid.
One of the happiest videos I've ever seen.😄
I've never seen a dog love to dive so much! He's cute!
Amazing!
What a cute mermaid ...😃
