My first setter went down on me on day that started out in mid 60s in the early morning but got to 70s in late morning, we were hunting quail and chukars. He just layed down and couldn't get up. I put some water in his mouth with one of the two squeeze bottles I carry and then wet his belly down real good. Then ran back to my truck where I had a gallon of water and drove across the fields to her and got her to drink and cooled his belly some more. I won't hunt a dog anymore when it hits 70. Just the excitement of hunting heats them up, coupled with ht temp is not good for the dogs.
