[quote=EsqCaucasians"][quote="bright]do you suggest anyone to keep a caucasian ovtcharka in a hot and humid climate? like coastal cities where temperature goes up even to 40 degrees at times? but most of the time, it'll be around 30 - 35+ it seldom reaches forty.. but it rarely (may be for 10 days) does in summers.. eg : mumbai and chennai?[/quote] They adapt with sufficient shade and water. Humidity is a factor. They arent heat sensitive like Rotts but certainly they are more active and comfortable in cooler climates. Coat shaving is debatable. Some owners thinks it helps.[/quote] From my experience: SHAVING is NO GO..... it doesnt help, makes it even worth for them.... Coat does protect them from the hot weather..
