Hawaii’s most popular dog breeds are the French Bulldog, Labrador, and Rottweiler. But popularity aside, when choosing the best dog breed for Hawaii, you have to keep in mind the warm weather. There are several dog breeds that love warm weather and can thrive in Hawaii.
Border Collies in Hawaii: This breed is a working dog that has a high ability to withstand heat. They’re also very trainable and do well on farmsteads in Hawaii.
Australian Cattle Dogs in Hawaii: This is another breed that can stay energetic during hot summers. They are great working dogs for Hawaii farms and also make amazing companions for Hawaiians who like to hike or go running.
American Water Spaniels in Hawaii: These are hunting and water retrieving dogs that are naturally sporty. They love to swim, which makes these dogs especially well-suited to Hawaii.
German Shorthaired Pointers in Hawaii: These dogs were bred as water retrieving dogs and love the outdoors. They can easily get accustomed to the warm Hawaii weather on account of their short coats.
Whippets in Hawaii: This breed is a medium-sized dog bred for racing and hunting. Whippets have a thin coat and do well in Hawaii. They are agile, active dogs who need lots of exercise but are relaxed indoors once they’ve expended their energy.
This does not mean that other breeds can’t live in Hawaii – it just means that the dog might be a little uncomfortable and you’ll have to take additional measures to keep your pooch healthy and happy in Hawaii.
