Sometimes, on hotter days, he does not do well in the heat.

In the cooler weather, he can walk for 2-3hrs and be fine and ready to go play some more afterwards.

Now, when we visit my dads house, I feel like he's constantly on the go. It's either swimming/diving in the pool, running around with the other dogs, going for walks, chasing four wheelers (behind a fence), go go go. At our regular house, he's a bit more willing to sleep a lot of the day away but still needs a lot of attention.

Brit have you thought about buying a "cool coat" for Jackson. I just bought one for Razzle; although I haven't used it yet; I might have to tomorrow if it gets as hot and sticky as forecasted. Show folks use them a lot particularly with the smooth/short coated dogs. I found they didn't do too well with my furry beasties, so I use it for Magic to stand on (when he was actively showing) and it helped a lot to keep him cool on those scorching summer days.
