what breed of dog is best to pet in a hot climate like the philippines?

I would have to say some kind of short haired dog because they have less fur, but still give it plenty of water.

Chinese Crested

a short hair dog...hairless chihuahua comes to mindotherwise check out the dogs they already have there...be careful if you bring an expensive dog there...especially don't let it get loose near the squatter areas...you'll be calling your dog caldereta.

I would recommend something like a hairless chihuahua they tend to be very cold natured, but bring lots of sun screen for the little thing
