Do you think a german shepherd can sustain the hot weather in saudi arabia?

Answer 1

they certainly are not "designed" for that environment...lots of water and shade...if not no...

Answer 2

yes the German shepherd can sustain the weather if you make sure that you give him lots a water, any type of dog can adjust to the weather conditions if u give him lots of water

Answer 3

As long as you make sure that there is plenty of water and a place that the dog can stay cool, then Yes. A good friend of mine has been in the middle East a few times with his K9 and other handler's and their K9's. The dogs did alright, but they were not worked real hard and they were given plenty of cool down time.

Answer 4

well if he seems to be getting too hot Id suggest shaving him but not too close you wouldnt want to exspose the skin to the sun. But actually id say no german shepherds are not meant for saudi.

Answer 5

Let me tell you, I live in Guadeloupe, French West Indies (in the Caribbean). I once had a Pomeranian Spitz. One of my friend had a Husky and another one has a Lassa-Apso.
It's not ideal conditions for them but they deal with. You just need to take care about giving them as much water as possible.

Answer 6

am a saudi livin in riyadh..and my uncle has three german shpherdas..and they look pretty happy lol..
i dont think the weather in saudi is any diffrent to some american states..so dogs can survive ^_^

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

In mid-April 1945, three Soviet fronts (army groups) totaling 2.5 million troops, 6,200 tanks and self-propelled guns, 42,000 artillery pieces and mortars, and 7,500 combat aircraft began a strategic offensive operation to encircle and destroy defending German forces and seize Berlin. These Soviets were the veterans of nearly four years of war conducted on a scale and intensity that in most aspects would have to, be regarded as unprecedented. Among the hard lessons learned in what the Soviets call the "Great Patriotic War" was the critical role played by engineer troops in large combined arms operations. As a result, engineer support of the Berlin Operation reflected the Soviet practice of saturating the participating fronts with engineer forces needed along the main directions of attack.

The major effort in the Berlin Operation was conducted by the 1st Belorussian Front under Marshal G. K. Zhukov, whose mission was to penetrate 20 to 40 kms of enemy defensive positions and natural barriers on the way to Berlin and to assault the city. Extensive engineer preparations for the attack included establishing 25 bridges and 40 ferry crossings over the Oder River in the 1st Belorussian zone. Given the nature of enemy defenses and the constricted, urbanized terrain, combat engineer support required special consideration. Some 84 engineer companies of the front constituted assault detachments and groups tasked to establish paths through mixed minefields and obstacles for infantry, armor, and artillery units.

When the operation began on April 16, front engineers and supporting elements created 340 such passages and removed over 70,000 mines. These assault groups which typically included infantry, armor, and flame thrower units supported the advance of frontal forces deep into enemy defenses and into the German capital, where the Soviets advanced slowly.

Combat engineers used breaching measures and limited vehicles, such as mine rollers and dozer blades. They were also heavily engaged as infantrymen. Soviet writings state that engineer subunits and shock groups of the 1st Belorussian Front made 1,500 breaches in building walls and roofs, cut 1,000 passages through barricades, and destroyed 159 buildings that were strong points for the enemy.

The Berlin Operation reflected the massive use of engineer troops that characterized Soviet combined arms operations by the end of the war. As Soviet sources report, a concentration of 17 to 22 engineer companies per km of breakthrough frontage was typical by the war's end and the use of specialized bridge, road, and railroad engineer troops was integral to such operations. After the war, there was an extensive Soviet study of engineer lessons learned from major World War 11 operations, a reflection of justifiable pride in the engineers' performance, and an affirmation of the importance of large-scale engineer support in a future nuclear or conventional NATO/Warsaw Pact conflict.

Forty years after the war, however, Soviet military forces were involved in a conflict far from the battlefields projected for Central Europe, but one in which all types of engineer support were just as essential for military operations. As senior Soviet military engineer officers have noted, the lessons of Afghanistan are influencing Soviet methods of engineer support force wide.

The German Shepherd Dog or Alsatian is a breed of dog. Because they are eager to please, they are easily trained in obedience and protection. German Shepherd Dogs are often used as working dogs in many capacities, including search and rescue (SAR) dogs, military dogs, police dogs, or guard dogs. They are also used as assistance dogs (particularly guide dogs), though not as much as Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers.

Answer 9

yes their coat keep them warm in the winter. but most people don't know their coat keep them cool in hot weather. he can take more heat then you. the dog man

Answer 10

They seem to do OK in both Idaq and Afganistan

Answer 11

yes they can... you just always need to give them fresh cold water
