By the way, I forgot to mention that the breeds of dogs that have the hardest time adjusting to Panama's humid weather are the following:
American cocker spaniel
basset hound
dachshund
English setter
poodle
schnauzer
Shetland sheepdog
shih tzu
many terrier breeds including the West Highland white, Australian, Jack Russell, etc.
Most water dogs, such as labs and retrievers, have fewer skin problems but you may notice a rise in ear infections, also due to the humidity.
May I please point out that this list is by no means conclusive. Just the other day, I ran into a lady who's Rottweiler had a severe case of dermatitis. She said she was sure it would get better when dry season got here. Only problem is dry season is still 3 months away.
