A cheap dept store style one does fine. Get used to what ur dogs normal "working" temp is and its easier to keep and eye on it. Being a working dog handler that has been to the middle east several times with different breeds of dogs we are very familiar with this KeL Eaton USAF K9 handler http://www.amway.com/kellyeaton k9aladar on Facebook

Carolyn Pike Roman Webboard User Reg: 03-20-2007 Posts: 559 Loc: San Antonio, TX Offline	Can anyone offer guidelines for what they do for exercise (limits of) in the heat? I got up early and took my guys for a walk at 5:30 this morning but it was still around 80 deg/80% humidity. I think 79 was the low for the day and we had it already... we did a mile and a half at a quick pace (walking) and they were very warm by the end- didn't want to push them. I see other folks running with their dogs and they don't seem as affected by the heat. Not sure if it's a breed thing (the other dogs I see seem to have short coats, not GSD coats), or if my guys are just out of shape?
