I Live in Jordan/Middle east, I Might get 2 Neapolitan Mastiff's ( male and female ), my house is located in the dead sea, weather is usually hot there and temperature can reach 45 sometimes with low humidity, so I was wondering if the neapolitan mastiffs can handle hot weather ?

P.S: the mastiffs I'm getting are 2 months old !

Generally Neos do not do well in hot weather.

I Live in Jordan/Middle east, Im Getting 2 Neapolitan Mastiff's ( male and female ), my house is located in the dead sea, weather is usually hot there and temperature can reach 45Celsius sometimes with low humidity, so I was wondering if the neapolitan mastiffs can handle hot weather ? I asked some doctors here and they answered that if the dog lived there since he was puppy ( 2 months old ) yes he can handle the hot weather, so I want to make sure if this is right or wrong :)

Please help

Best Regards

To be quite frank, large breed dogs die in 40c heat. You have to remember they can only sweat by panting and these dogs, weighing almost l40 lbs and as big as a human would have a hard time dealing with the heat and humidity in your country. So you are purchasing a male and female with the intention of breeding?

Difficult breed to manage, first and foremost a guard dog; a working dog, so can't be cooped up.

There was an article in our paper today of a chocolate lab mix, in all probability quite large, expiring in a hot car in a mall parking lot in Toronto where the temp in the car reached 45c.

In my honest honest opinion, I would have to say a bad choice of breed, only for their well being, for your climate.

Heat stroke is a BIG risk for BIG dogs - Heat Stroke and the Giant Breed Dog - Canada's Guide to Dogs (http://www.canadasguidetodogs.com/health/healtharticle4.htm)

Canadian owners are warned about large breeds. I can't imagine a large breed in the Middle East.

Your Vet said there is no risk?

Are you intending to breed them?

I am assuming you are continuing to post the same question because you aren't happy with the answers you received on your other thread? https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/neapolitan-mastiff-hot-weather-669156.html

Yes, I read her other post, JKT and noticed Sariss answered confirmating. I hope she heeds our advice.

I wouldn't hold my breath. When someone opens a new thread I "assume" the advice is not what the person wanted to hear.

I Live in Jordan/Middle east, Im Getting 2 Great Dane's ( male and female ), my house is located in the dead sea, weather is usually hot there and temperature can reach 45Celsius sometimes with low humidity, so I was wondering if the Great Dane can handle hot weather ?

So you have gone from Neopolitan Mastiffs to Great Danes. My answer still stands, large breed dogs will not survive your climate.

Why do you want large breeds ?

I'd like to reiterate the point.
Large breed dogs have no place in that kind of heat.
They over heat quickly, and cannot cool themselves.
I have seen their core temperatures go up to 108-110.
Heat stroke can cause brain damage and seizures. Even if your dog survives, he may be a vegetable.
Some dogs can actually slough (skin dies and starts coming off)
This opens them up to infections and surgical repair.
There is nothing fun about treating a heat stroke victim, and trust me it is not something that you want to witness.
Rethink your breed choices if the climate is that hot where you are.
Brachiocephalic dogs do not cool themselves very well naturally either.
Dogs with shorter noses, pug breeds, English bulldogs, boston terriers etc.
So those also are not a breed choice for that climate.
Reconsider your choices for the dogs sake.
