Large breeds seem to cope OK, I have a St Bernard and he is managing fine, loves the air conditioning and stays indoors quite a bit, especially July/August. He loves his run on the beach and this time of year is perfect weather!!! Most dogs adapt to this climate.

Regarding the banned breeds, the list has been supplied already but you can get special permission from the Ministry of Interior for these dogs. The application is quite a long process but is worth it if you really want to bring your dog with you and it's on the banned list.
