Really good read. It has been my experience that the hard driving dogs are always more prone to heat stroke . They just do not know when to quit and will run there selves until it is to late. I have several Plotts here that have overheated and believe me, they are not the same. In the winter they are fine but in the summer they will overheat pretty fast, also dogs that are in good condition are less prone to heatstroke. I wonder also if that thicker coat has anything to do with it but if it is only a couple out of a litter who knows. The problem is prevalent all over the south in the summer..
