This summer has been very hot for the dogs in out door rings in the dog shows. For short coated dogs wet towels over their backs will have a cooling affect. Long coated dogs, like the Bichon, can stand on cold wet towels in order to cool off. Unfortunately, once you are in the ring, the sun and the dry stubble grass soon become other issues to deal with, making an out going "go around" difficult to achieve at times!
