Belgian malanois
Let's dive straight into today's top ten and as always will
obviously start with number 10 we have the Belgian Malinois this breed was
developed in the late 1800s in Belgium and is actually one of four varieties of
Belgian Shepherd that were created in different regions of the country the hair
on the dog's heads the exterior of there is and a lower parts of their legs is
very short it's also short on the rest of their body although thicker around
the tail and around the dog's neck so that it looks like a collar that is
reaching for the base of the ear down to the dog's throat their hind quarters
boast having fringes of longer hair and their tails are bushy and thick their
coats are close fit and firm to the touch with the dogs boasting a woolly and
soft undercoat this coat makes them very versatile being able to handle a
variety of climates but certainly are not a dog to be taken lightly the
Malinois is a breed that needs incredible amounts of exercise and mental
stimulation and providing the necessary things are put in place can handle very
hot climates.
Akbash
At number 9 we have the akbash this was an ancient breed and
one has a very murky origin story so it's hard to give exact details on their
histories however what we do know is that they did originate from the western
plains of Turkey and are in use Dover they're incredibly effectively as
livestock Guardians most livestock guardians are white and this is so that they
can blend in well with their flocks and have a real element of surprise should
a wolf or another predator attempt to harm a member of their flock now the akbash
is white coat can be quite thick and dense which doesn't always translate well
to hot weather but this coat is designed to be durable and many climates and
Turkey can get very hot now as always precautions should be taken to provide a
dog with plenty of shade threat clean drinking water at all times but do that
and this is a breed that can handle the heat Doberman takes
Doberman
Our number eight spot and lucky for us the Doberman has a
much more clearer history that makes it easy for us to talk about the breed
owes its origins to a German tax collector named hare carl fredrik Louis
Doberman who created the breed in 1800 he wasn't only just a tax collector but
it was also a dog catcher and hare doberman also worked as a night watchman and
being a dog catcher it made him in a great position to be able to really work
out what kind of dog breeds he wanted when he wanted to create the perfect dog
that was more around character than based on the dog's looks or conformation
now when it comes to their coat the Doberman boasts a short hard thick but
smooth and clothesline coat not only is this coat beautiful to look at and it
does come in a variety of colors it allows the Doberman to be able to work
effectively in very hot conditions the flipside is that they do feel the cold
more and a not as versatile as some of the other breeds on this list but when
we're looking at purely hot climate so the Doberman does do very well .
Great Dane
At number seven we have the Great Dane now the Great Dane is
often overlooked not only with its ability to be a great watchdog and even
guard dog but also just how brilliantly they can manage hot climates now they
don't feature higher on this list as it is a dedicated list to guard dog breeds
of hot climates so it's a combination of guarding skills and the ability and
heat but Great Danes have fantastic intimidation factor they will alert to
someone be in there that shouldn't be due to their intimidation is 99 times out
of 100 more than enough to scare off any would-be bad guys now they do do very
well in heat but bear in mind that they will tend to slow down a bit the hotter
it gets but they're short coats are perfect if you love something live
somewhere hot and then obviously you can offer them plenty of shade rest and
clean water.
Cane Corso
At number six we have the glorious cane Corso hailing from
Italy this is a Mastiff breed bred to be a fearless war and Guardian in some of
the hottest conditions still to this day you can find cane Corso working the
length of Italy working in God in roles and managing the heat their beautifully
this naturally transitions very well to over hot areas of the world as with all
Mastiff breeds it is worth noting that they are brascia phallic which means
they have that shorter face typical of Mastiff breeds but that can cause
breathing issues and make them more prone to overheating than with breeds with
kind of normal-sized faces.
Kangal and Anatolian Shepard
At number five I'm gonna cheat a bit here and I'm gonna combined
number five and number four and we have the Turkish Kangol and the Anatolian
Shepherd now Bofur used in Turkey like the atbash the Kirk the tangle and the
Anatolian Shepherd a world renowned livestock Guardian breeds the Kangol in
particular is one of my personal favorite breeds on the planet I wish I could
work with them more but owners tend to be very kind of switched on before
getting candles and very experienced and with enough skill to be able to manage
them so I don't get to really work much in terms of my behavior modification
and rehabilitation and doing any kind of consultation or working with clients
but when I do it is an absolute pleasure to work these stunning breeds and I
will 100% be a proud owner of a Kangol as many of you know my main dream of my
main goal is to buy a small farm and running my rescue and rehabilitation
centre and when we get to that stage I will use my candles - God a farm and the
other animals and it's something it's me every single day but back to their
climate abilities I nearly made it through a whole blog about waffle in there
but both the Kangol and the Anatolian shepherds have fascinating coats that
allow them to work in the brutal daytime heat of Turkey yet remain warm when
the temperatures plummet at night now especially in the higher altitudes that
versatility is extremely important and if you are in the market for a
world-class livestock Guardian that can manage the heat well and you're experienced
enough to manage such an intense and independent breed.
Dogo Argentino
Moving on to number 3 we have the Dogo Argentino now the Dogo
Argentino is a breed forum Argentine or as you've probably guessed and is one
of the four breeds that are banned here in the india they are a Mastiff breed
but are smaller more athletic and a very short white coats that make them
perfect for managing very hot climates.
Boreboel
At number two we have the boreboel now the boerboel originates
from South Africa where they can still be seen today all over working on many
different farms and in many different garden rolls these huge Mastiffs are formidable
guard dogs and due to their selective early breedings they are very well
accustomed to very hot climates and in my opinion make for the best Mastiff
breed for very hot climates again subscribe I mentioned earlier they're brassy
or phallic faces do need to be managed and captain ion but providing they have
water and some shelter to get away from the Sun this breed will guard anything
in any weather.
Rhodesian RidgeBack
And taking my number one spot is the Rhodesian Ridgeback
bred in Africa to help track and hunt lions as well as protecting hunting
parties this is a breed that was very literally born and bred to be able to
work in some of the world's hottest climates for long and extended periods of
time the ridgeback is a wonderful and fascinating breed and if you're looking
for a guard dog that is more athletic may not be as intimidating and doesn't
carry that bad reputation of many of the other breeds then the Rhodesian
Ridgeback is well worth taking a more detailed look at.
