wasn't the arabian horse bred to be heat tolerant?
You're exactly right Reuben.
Another thing I thought of last night while pondering this idea of Dinah's....we have forgotten to mention Bergman's Law, which states that as you move farther from the equator, the size of the animals gets larger, in order to be more cold tolerant. So that would of course work in the reverse, smaller dogs should be more heat tolerant than larger ones.
Everyone wants a big bad azz dog but looks like the little buzzsaws are going to be the best bet.
A 50-60 pound dog is a good weight for a large hunting dog, after that the bigger they get the more endurance/heat exhaustion issues. That is how I see it.
Firemedic, Bergman's law is a new one for me. but it makes sense...
