can caucasian ovtcharkas be kept in hot climate?
[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.

I don't argue with their observations. -

Coat does protect them from the hot weather..[/quote] I am in the Dallas, Tx. area, and have 4 CO's here and one with her puppy coat. Three with very nice, long coats. As long as there is shade and water available there is no problem. My guys stay in the air condition durin the hot part of the summer days here and we go out to work between midnight and 4 AM. The rest of the year here we can work outside at anytime with no problems. I do not recommnd shaving any dog of their coats unless there is a medical reason for doing such. Just my opinions. Keep smiling Kat -

They are typically passive and are not trained to actively attack an intruder. They are usually kept indoors as family pets and do not require extensive training.A guard dog, on the other hand, is trained to...
