Hot Down South

Post by Van D »

I am new to the board so I was just going to see how everyone is dealing with the heat. Down here in south MS it is very hot and the dogs can't take much.

My more experienced dogs can take alot more heat then the pups. It was 93 degrees last night at 9pm but the dogs had 1 really good run for about 25 minutes and then Coyotes started coming in on the dogs so we called it a night.

One of my females hadn't been out in a month and she is a little over weight it didn't take her long to get hot she ran about 30 min and I picked her up. The thick weeds and grass really holds the heat in.
