How hot is too hot for Fido on a dove hunt?
Signs or symptoms of heat exhaustion?
What to do if you notice these signs?
(I thought I would make one post that’s worth a shit)

Dont we go over this every year? Keep dog in the shade. Keep the dog watered up.

Leave the dog at home and pick up your own birds. It’s not like they are out there swimming around in chest deep water.
Oh yeah, and be sure to sit in the shade and keep yourself watered up.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-
You need a bamboo vest for your dog (make sure it's infused with spf).

If you are a good shot and your dog is obedient you should be ok for an hour or so.
What you don't want is a dog retrieving your birds and every body elses. Or staying out in the field for hours.
Plenty of water is a must. Don't hesitate to put dog back in vehicle with air conditioning running every so often......especially older dogs.

Depends on the dog, don’t take your fatass house dog out there on opening day, I’ve seen one die and several have strokes due to the owner. You've got to pay attention.
If he’s in shape.
Shade
Cold water
I use a cooler as a stool on hot days, fill it 1/4 water and 3/4 ice, let it leak in a puddle where he heels. Does a great job at keeping him cool. If he looks like hes getting too hot, i'll make a pile of ice and he will lay on it, and make him stay there until he cools down.
Old age was the only thing that kept my dogs from hunting first season, their old age. Sometimes it's just simplicity that keeps a dog at homes lately.
Take yer youngins and make them pick up your birds. If you don't have any, sit next to somebody that does, or borrow somebody elses......
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
Cajun couldn't handle the heat of Sept dove hunts. She'd go into cluster seizures I knew this and left her at home for doves.
Maybe y'all should get boykins since apparently labs can't handle sept.
SW and that dick dude got it figured out....
my boykin lives outside during most days. he will hunt with me. we will both be hot. i'll ask him not to run around too much. he's 1.5.
granted, I have not seen a dog die from heat exhaustion so maybe I'm naive...but my dog is going.
Trust me, yelling "GRIFFIN! GET YOUR ASS BACK OVER HERE" is not something I want to have to ever say.....
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
That's why Kevin just sits with me
