    So if you are asking which kinds of dogs make good house dogs in arizona the answer is- any dog.

    If you're asking which kinds of dogs do well left outside in your yard in the heat the answer is- NONE!
    Very well explained

    As said earlier, any breed depending on where thye live. Do you want your dog to do any kind of work in the heat? Is he going to live outside? I wouldn't really recommend huskies and other Cold Weather working dogs.
