Puppyhood is an exciting time for dogs. Every day is an opportunity to try something new, from the first walk to the first time chasing a squirrel to the first time having a bath.
So when eight Golden Retrievers were invited to go swimming in their very own private pool, it must have been an incredibly exciting experience for them. The puppies’ first time swimming was caught on camera, and the adorable video was shared onto YouTube for us all to see. We don’t know about you, but we suddenly want a puppy for ourselves after watching this video!
The video, titled, “Eight English Cream Golden Retriever Puppies – first swim & jump!” was shared onto YouTube by The Best of Rummy’s Beach Club, and people instantly fell in love with the sweet puppies’ first adventure. Since being posted, the video has over 12 million views, as well as thousands of likes and comments as people share their love for the sweet clip.
The footage was filmed at what appears to be a shallow swimming pool, and it shows the eight puppies lining up around the pool as they eye up their latest adventure.
Some of the puppies seem hesitant, but others are a little braver and appear to be interested in the pool in front of them. It must look really strange to somebody who has probably never seen water before!
The bravest of the group of puppies decides that he’s going to explore further and jumps straight into the water. After re-emerging from underwater, he sticks his head up and attempts some pretty advanced-looking doggy paddle, before one of the women watching over the puppies scoops him up to give him some time to rest.
Fueled by the bravery of their brother, the rest of the puppies take it in turns to jump into the water.
They look so cute when their little faces pop out from underwater, and we can’t help wishing that we were there with them! Some of the puppies are still a little too scared to dive completely in, and instead paddle their feet in the shallowest part of the water – but we’re sure that in no time at all they will all be confidently swimming around in the deeper water.
People took to the comments to share their love for the video, with one person saying:
“The wholesomeness level is off the chart. This is what I signed up for. Wholesome dog content.”
Another person added:
“The dearest, sweetest, most darling little bubbies ever! And the encouragement these little ones are getting is top notch. Such positive sounds and vibes really help them to find confidence with new experiences. This is just wonderful!”
A final person joked, “What if you mix them up when you go home?” They have a very good point!
We wish this video could have gone on for longer – it could actually keep us entertained all day! Watch the adorable footage below.
