I just read Wheatons don't do well in the heat. I live in Tucson, AZ, which can become very hot in the summer and reach temperatures of 110 degrees. I have a dog door, and the dog can come inside whenever it wants. Is it too dangerous to have a soft coated Wheaton in the desert region?

No not at all I live in salt lake city utah and every summer we give him a hair cut and he loves it. he is perfectly fine.

I have bought a specialized dog cooling mat from dog supply stores that you fill with water. My dogs love it. There is also a bit of a marble hearth that both dogs will race too after a good run.
