Break out the lemonade and doggie-pool! Let’s dive into these breeds!

* Great Dane: This gentle giant may seem like a “bit much” for your average dog owner, but time and time again, these gorgeous, lion-sized buckets of love are making the top ten list for the best

apartment dogs! Their short-coat, calm temperament, and little exercise requirements make them a top contender for desert living. However, with such a large dog comes large lawn presents. So you may want to hire a pet waste removal company!

* German Short Haired Pointer: This people-pleaser from the sporting group is another jaw-dropping head-turner capable of being a “Best Hot-Weather Dog Breeds” due to its short coat and breeding for fieldwork. This is a medium-level energy dog. A brisk walk and play session in the cool morning or evening hours will satisfy this lovable worker. This breed loves the water, so a doggie pool, tennis ball, and an “atta boy” are all this puppy needs to be happy!

* Chihuahua: If you’re looking for something a bit smaller as well as a go-anywhere-tag- along, then a chihuahua may be an excellent choice for you! This breed originates from Mexico, which we all know is very warm! Capable of withstanding heat better than other breeds, this dog would be a perfect addition to any dessert metro! Great for any size home or lawn, this tiny love biscuits short and thin coat, as well as petite stature, make the top list for Got Poop AZ’s Best Hot Weather Dog Breeds.

* Italian Greyhound: An often overlooked breed is the Italian Greyhound. This small dog is a wonderful companion and loves a warm sunny day! With low energy levels, this pup would much rather cuddle in the A/C all day. But when he does need to go outside, no need to worry about him quickly over-heating because this pup’s breed (despite the name-) is believed to have originated in ancient Egypt! Doesn’t get much warmer than Egypt before fans and A/C! Am I right? Rumor has it that the Italian Greyhound got its name from the popularity that the breed had throughout the Mediterranean.

* Afghan Hound. Another overlooked breed is the Afghan Hound. If you want a dog that you can dress up with bows, and groom to your heart’s content, look no further than this Cher-like diva! Those gorgeous flowing locks provide enough movement to keep air circulating well, and the hair itself, while plentiful, is very fine. Hailing from Afghanistan, this is another breed all too familiar with a desert climate. Able to tolerate scorching heat during the day and cooler nights, this high-maintenance beauty is a great choice! Hey,- Rapunzel for a dog name, perhaps?! And don’t worry, remember- you’re getting a pet waste removal company to help you out with dog chores, so you have all the time in the world to brush Rapunzel’s hair. She can let it all down!
