Bernese Mountain Dog Forum:
hot weather

Im moving to Texas and would like to get a BMD. How well do they tolerate the hot weather? We have 100 acres of lightly treed area and will be outside most of the day.

I live in NC and it has been HOT! I went to my first match to see the Berners. I dont have one but am getting one in a month or so. I saw a lot of dogs there and they seemed to tolerate the heat fine. -- I wouldnt leave any dog out in this heat for any length of time though..
