From Yellowknife to Antalya with a northern rescue dog
I am from Antalya and for the last six years I work in Yellowknife, rotations at the mine. Three years ago I adopted Kuzey from a shelter here, a husky mix, maybe five years old now. Best decision I made in Canada.
Next year I go home for good. With my brother I bought a ground floor flat with a garden in Lara, we chose it on https://turk.estate/en/ mainly because of the garden and the shade of two orange trees, Kuzey needs space.
But he is a dog for minus 30, not for plus 38 in July. In winter in Yellowknife he sleeps outside in the snow by choice.
Has anyone here moved a northern breed to a hot country? What did you change: cooling mat, walks only before sunrise, shaving the coat or not? I read different opinions about shaving, so I ask people who did it.
