No actually he/she didn't. A dog that runs hot sooner rather than later is NOT conditioned properly. So while I would never gauge wind solely on how quick a dog pants, it is relative to the conversation and definitely a factor. I agree...When I first started working Nikki she would pant and foam at the mouth within 15 min or so, I kept notes on this and the activities we were doing after three months of working and we are talking summer so the further along we got the hotter it was getting, she could go longer periods. She loves to work be it flirt, spring or mill she will work til she lays down and still tries to get up. When we are done I literally have to hose her down and then walk her a good 25 mins to get her cooled down.
