firemedic I have an idea what you want to say. But to me if you live in a place like Texas you better know what to do in the heat. I run in the heat sometimes. I don't think a dog that has a heat stroke will be more likely to have it again because of having it. I think some dogs know to slow down in the heat. You need to make sure you only hunt in short bursts and give lots of water. keep a close eye on your dogs. I had a heat stroke once and nobody was with me. I knew the signs and what to do. You don't feel good quickly. Just today my kids had to go out and play. I tried to keep them in. When I saw girl I knew to get her in and put her in the bath and give fluids. To me kids and dogs both need someone with a close eye. Try to wait for cooler times but sometimes they just want to go and it is your responsibility.

Hunting in the heat requires lots of water, and ice packs. You need to know where to put them to cool the dog or a person fast.
