 After one hog or 5 miles I put the dog up and let out the new dog. This is the only way I have learned to hunt during the heat of the day.

 Conditioning and breeding will play a huge factore in a dogs ability to work through the heat.

 I have a friend that uses rhodesian ridgebacks and those dogs dont care if it is 105 or freezing they hunt hard and dont seem to mind the heat at all and the heat surly doesnt slow them down one bit.
