I have three dogs who I love so much!  Pepper, Sammy, and Finn. Like most dogs, they varies in shape and size.
Oh yeah I really like medium/large breeds I don't want people to judge me if I have a small dog
Ha ha, I feel you. All my dogs are bigger.  Small dogs just aren't my thing adn they can be quite temperamental and yippy. I love mine for protection, fun, companionship, but I know people use them for hunting, herding, military, and handicapp assistance. They are so versatile and wonderful!
What else do you know about dogs
I just love how connected dogs are to humans.  They even detect cancer in humans. They have a long association with being attuned to human behavior. I'm sure that's why they make such good seeing-eye dogs also.
I heard dogs are afraid of water, everytime I try and give them a bath they lose their minds
Oh, that's odd. It might just be the breed you have.  Mine jump in anywhere and everywhere; sometimes bringing mud with them! ha ha. Some do vary in their capabilities and maybe your dog knows it physically doesn't want to swim for a reason.
Well I guess I got a defective one, guess I ll get a new one
Well, maybe start hiking instead of swimming. ha ha.  They weren't called "man's best friend" for no reason.
