How does a Teddy (Poodle) behave when it is hot?
When hot, a Teddy usually sleeps in a cool, shady spot and may lose appetite and become listless. In very hot weather it pants with its mouth open and tongue out, since dogs have few sweat glands and dense fur and mainly dissipate heat by breathing. Panting accelerates water loss, so without water it can become mildly dehydrated or suffer heatstroke.
