    You guys are great - thanks for the responses. We are most often dealing with high humidity (being on the coast), so 80 degrees can feel much warmer. I think I will use 75 degrees as Kipawa's upper range. Also, the heat yesterday came on with a bang - no buildup to it. It just happened. So there was no time for man or beast to get used to it. Anne, your comment about "a dog will keep going with you till they collapse from heatstroke" is exactly what would happen to Kipawa. He just loves his outdoors and running so much. Once outside, he does not have a "slow" setting if he is off leash.

    Because the current test is a marker test and not a direct gene test, I don't know how useful the test would be. This is a question you would have to ask directly to the researchers.

    I have used Ivomec (Ivermectin) for heartworm preventative in my dogs for years. A bottle normally costs under $40 and lasts for a couple of years.

    @Janneke: Yeah, thought about it.. I think it's from a plant. I believe it is cald hogweed in English. We were at training this morning (yes, again the training) and they grow there. Could well be that it was the hogweed as I have heard of it irritaing humans skin and causing blisters.
