What in duck soup is this?! 
How could Blizzard just leave a pet without a swimming animation is beyond me, I still loves my Beanie even if he defies the laws of water physics.
Pets That Can't Swim
- Spiked Spiders
Beetles
Wasps*flying animation is the same as their swimming*
CoreHounds*Drakeadon *
Ant Silithids
Boss Silithids
Demon Dogs/Runed Demon Dogs
Moths*flying animation is the same as their swimming*

Beetles can't swim either! It's awful! I think there are a few other families without swimming animations too, and sub-families. It's a great sadness.

It's okay, lava spiders look like creepy squid when they swim, which in my opinion is worse than having no swimming animation. xD

Blizz has slowly been adding more (like corehounds and tarantulas used to not have swimming animations, but have them now), so maybe this thread could be turned into an all-inclusive list of the pets missing them to make things convenient for the powers that be.

I agree. Might as well call them lava squids...

the Demon Dogs don't have a swim animation. They look like they're walking.

I was bored enough to look up every pet model in WMV. Shows how well I use said program when I can find all of the beasts that quickly. <.<

I'm very fond of the spider swim animation, I think it's adorable. ^^

Yeah, same here. I tamed Bayne for my purple/pink/white themed hunter, but it really bothers me, that he keeps running under water. But not running at normal speed, but ridiculously fast although he does not move faster...
Image is taken from my random-pet challenge report I did on him.

My Lucifur (ghostly demon dog) runs under water and doesn't swim. I find it kind of cute though.

Snerk, the idle in water animation for lava spiders is great.

It baffles me beyond words why, if all Core Hounds share basically the same animative skeleton, why the Chromaggus alone cannot swim, while the lava-drooler and the kurken can.
Not only that, but last I checked, none of them have running animations and the Chromag still has the stompy-sound while underwater and not touching ground.
Try to keep up, Blizz.
