Jetjockey I know what your saying is very true in many instances because I have wittnessed this for myself on several occasions at other so called hunting clubs. One of the big reasons I wanted my own dogs to travel with us and not depend on somebody elses dogs.
We usually take seven dogs with us on a bird hunt, one in the cab of the truck (wife's pet) and the other 6 in in the dog trailer. The trailer was great when the temperatures didn't get to high. I got caught one year with soaring temps into the 80's while going to South Dakota.
We had no air-conditioning on that trailer at that time. Now I have that issue taken care of by reinsulating the dog boxes from the outside with a R-38 insulating foam. Also have a 13,000 BTU air conditioner, driven by a Honda generato to pipe that cool air into the dog compartments.
