Hi, this is Andy the Wonder Dog, I am a dog. My mum has FINALLY let me back on the putor, I really upset her a couple of days ago, Oh well!. She used to live in Qld and bred French Bulldogs. (For about 15 years). She found that like pugs, so long as they have access to LOTS of water they are fine. They used to regularly immerse themselves in the baby baths full of water she provided. When she moved to Darwin, she brought all of her 4 Frenchies, she once again provided LARGE baths of water so they could play in it. No air conditioning. Have to be honest, although her Frenchies loved it up here, I cannot understand ANYONE wanting to imperse themsleves in water? Why? I have lots of hair, and I live in Darwin, I don't mind the heat!!! Go figure! (ps, I was born in Qld and didn't arrive till I was 5 months old, and still have trouble handling 12 degres).
