What is a good dog for warm weather?

I was deciding to get a dog, but i really don't know which type of breed would be able to live in Warm weather such as Arizona.



The dog would stay outside and have the whole backyard to romp in and play only stay outside for 3 or 2 1/2 hours.

I'll be able to bring in a small swimming pool and a bowl of fresh ice chilled water!



What type of breed do you think would be able to stay outside for 3 or 2 1/2 hours in Arizona with the things listed above?



I was thinking of maybe a shih-tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, beagle, or a Jack Russel Terrier. Please list the following dogs that YOU think would be able to stay outside for a small period of time.

Naturally you'd think that a dog with a lot of hair would get too hot in the Arizona sun. But you have to be careful because some dogs with short or sparse hair can actually get sunburned.



Chihuahuas are actually very well suited to warmer climates.

A Yorkshire Terrier, on the other hand, is not going to do as well. And a Shih-tzu would probably just be miserable. Jack Russel's and Beagles are pretty resilient, but still probably wouldn't do as well as the Chihuahua.



But really, it depends on the setup of your backyard. Will there be shade? As long as it wasn't kept in direct sunlight, I think the Jack Russel, Beagle, and Yorkshire terrier would all be fine.What is a good dog for warm weather?
I used to live in Arizona - most all dogs can adapt to the weather there so long as they have plenty of shade and plenty of water - and plenty of protection from monsoon weather lol.



Get a dog that will fit with your lifestyle and don't worry so much about hair coat.What is a good dog for warm weather?
Shih tzus and other shorter muzzled dogs would be unsuitable in hot weather.



But if the dog needs to stay that short of time outside, I'm sure it would be fine staying in the house inside a crate.
i think a doberman,boxer those dogs who have no hair in the body



hairs generate lot of heat
