Overheating can be a big problem for dogs and that's why the best dog breeds for hot weather are what you need if you live somewhere with a warm climate. Because dogs don’t sweat to get rid of their body heat (only a little through glands in their paw pads), they need to be able to disperse heat in other ways in order to avoid heatstroke.
Some breeds of dog are well adapted to this physiologically and thrive in hot climates, while other breeds are best suited to cold weather. Dogs that cope best with the higher temperatures are those with short hair, single-layer coats or hairless dog breeds.
