IN GENERAL, THE PUPS THAT HANDLE HOT WEATHER WELL WILL HAVE ROOTS IN WARMER CLIMATES, SHORT COATS OR A PHYSIQUE THAT EFFECTIVELY COOLS AIR AS THEY BREATHE.

Let's start with dogs bred on continent known for its hot weather: Australia. These pups are highly intelligent and natural herders.

In the 1800s, breeders in Australia mated several types of working collies, producing the Australian kelpie. These dogs can withstand high heat without tiring.

This small yet mighty dog is known to adapt to any climate & was bred in Australian in the 19th century to work hard for its humans getting rid of pests.

This hound was bred in Spain to chase & fetch rabbits. Similar to the Pharaoh hound, who also does well in heat, Ibizans enjoy high levels of activity.

5 KRISTIINATAMMIK/GETTY IMAGES [{ "selector": ".gtlqk-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".zctdm-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Greyhounds are aerodynamically designed for high speeds, so their long noses & large lungs can seamlessly distribute cool air throughout their bodies.

6 ALEKSANDR ZOTOV [{ "selector": ".wcnjx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".pbzwq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Their webbed toes & enthusiasm for any water activity makes them ideal sports for just about any climate.

Although they can handle the heat due to their lack of fur they are prone to sunburn so will need pet-safe SPF.

The motto for border collies might as well be, "Work hard, play hard." They are some of the lithest pups out there & have boundless energy.

Whippets have super short, thin coats and deep chest cavities, which make chilling out at high noon under the sun a piece of cake.

There are 101 reasons (we couldn't resist) to love dalmatians, not the least of which is their overall terrific health and endurance.
