In the future I may be looking for a LGD maybe a year or two down the road. I live in a hot climate Florida and own a pit bull. I've been looking at a lot of LGD's and most have a heavy coat. I don't know how they will do in a hot climate. I like the CAO some of their coats look short some look filled with fur. Is there a difference in their type or lines? How will they thrive in a hot climate?  If I have an area for them like a barn where they can go in with shade will that work.    

Will LGD's protect horses and goats?
