Beautiful, beautiful pup. I am surprised that you are afraid that anyone would say animal abuse. Hell, that would be a dream for my dogs. Unfortunately the only really good hiking spot we have around here is down in a ravine and I don't trust my crazy dogs not to pull me over the edge. Obeasts and dogs are like oil and water.

One of my dogs in particular is not good with strangers (he's 62 pounds) and is bouncy. I have stopped taking him to the local pet store because of all the damn eat beasts. He would be fine if they would just leave us alone as I ask. But no.... that's apparently expecting too much. I had to literally run away from one of them because she wouldn't stop reaching out to try to pet him. Of course they aren't going to offer to help or at least shut the hell up so you can be on your way.

Eh 100 degrees is a little over kill, especially for the northern breeds.

Funny you say that... the GF's dog is a 35 pound Aussie mix and it is spooky. It is always fats that try to pet the dogs and inevitably get snapped at.

I am ignorant of what the northern breed dogs can handle heat wise. I have a German Shepherd mix and he used to (he's old now) handle the heat quite well. Live in the South so I see a few Huskies, Malamutes around here but not too many so I really stink at identifying those breeds/telling them apart. From the picture I thought Shepherd or Shepherd mix. Sorry! Like I said, Southerner so I suck at identifying northern breeds. I have a boxer so I have to be careful but yeah if you rested him a lot and let him get in the water I don't think it would be a big deal for him right now while he's young. Another year or two though and that won't be the case. My pitbull could handle it though no problem.
