Excessive panting

[Jude 83]

Anybody ever had a dog that is constantly panting when out? He is a young dog in good condition and is out plenty. but is always blowing out his arse for nothing, I know it is fairly warm just now but does it even on really cool days. I don’t know if it’s just because he is that wound up all the time or what but hopefully settles down a bit this season when starts getting some proper work

A bit of heat can make a dog look out of shape. Especially if heavy build and heavy coat type.

Make sure he's wormed up to date, can sap a dogs condition without any obvious signs.

From experience its normaly black smooth coated dogs don't seem to handle the warm tempratures, tend to pant alot more than others i have seen.

Shovel it before it sickens you even more when you try graft it and it really does blow

I had a terrier like that.

she was no good for out of season pest control.

I had her treated for lung worm but I think it’s just how she was.

Same experience, touch their coat if it's sunny, even if only about 15C and it's obvious they soak the heat . Assuming they are fit and no veterinary reason There's also sometimes panting in excitement / anticipation.

spot on  Allan,  both my 1xs   have good coats, and good skin, bryn my 1x collie x grey  got good coat, few people seen him run on here , he get 30 rabbits in night , he blow a bit , but always pack up with bit left in the tank. Buck my big 1x gsd x grey , put many long hard night in the lamp  40 odd runs , rabbits, and few other things  lol , his best bag rabbits was 38, which i think was brill for 28in 88 lb dog , he wasn't bred for rabbits , but he try to catch whats in front of him  day/night. now he blow heavy, but give him a couple mins rest , and he ready to go again , do this all night long. he coat quite thick , he picked up good coat from the gsd, not as thick, but deff good coat and good skin. if get another lurcher in the future ,  i poss go for maybe a beddy x grey x pit x grey ,  2nd gen  try to get maybe the  coat if poss, as all my pit x greys ive had before had crap coats, collie norm give good coat  as well , maybe one with drop of pit in , just few things ive thought about .

Mine got a quite a thick coat but not long haired, think a lot of it is just being worked up/anticipation when out. Hopefully when start road work and  getting him runs he will settle down a bit

Try taking his duffle coat off him.
