hot tubs new orleans image
Arianne
i live in new orleans and we have the HOTTEST summers around. ESPECIALLY WHEN AUGUST HITS! im talking 80 to 90. PUSHING 100.. we will be buying a siberian husky this summer from a professional breeder. she will not be born until mid april and given to us until the end of may. I have pretty much done all my homework on this breed but i still have many questions. i am a very active person and this breed is a working dog breed. so i plan to excersise with her daily(runs, jogs, biking) to keep her active. also going to parks and etc. my biggest concern is while doing these things is overheating and smelling afterward. i read that huskies do not really need to be bathed a lot and that they dont smell at all UNLESS in a humid climate! and due to how hot it will get down here i dont know. i have also read of people feeding their dogs frozen SEEDLESS fruit as treats in the summer to keep them cool. minus grapes..peaches..& pears. i plan to do this along with water ice cubes before excersise and after to keep her cool. i do NOT want to mess up her coat and skin by bathing her frequently or shaving. SO any tips to someone living in a warm climate with this breed? also tips on shedding? i was going to use some shedding shampoo but due to the fact that she will only be a puppy and huskies do not need frequent bathing i guess not. answers and advice PLEASE
Answer
If you are getting the puppy that young, you are not getting one from a reputable breeder. The breeder might be a "professional" but they are not reputable if they sell their puppies under 8-10 weeks of age. Does this breeder show their dogs? Are the parents tested for genetic health problems? If not, then stay away from this breeder.
I live even further south than you do. I've seen a lot of huskies down here. Pretty much, keep the dog inside with the AC all day. For exercise, stick to early morning/evening. It is just too hot in the middle of the day. If you have somewhere you can exercise the dog inside, do that. Search for a local facility that does dog sports and is indoors.
For shedding, just get used to doing a lot of brushing. You'll want to get a Furminator brush. They are great in removing massive amounts of undercoat in a dog with a coat like a husky.
And typically, many huskies hate being bathed. If you can get the puppy used to baths and train it to tolerate them, it will be much easier for you later on. I've bathed many huskies over the years. Some of them behave in the tub, others will scream and howl while desperately trying to escape.

Is this preventing me from getting pregnant?

My hubby likes to take hot baths to soak his sore muscles after work. Is that killing his sperm? Please serious answers only not quesses.
I know that hot tub will kill them so I was not sure how hot it had to be in order for it to kill them off. I did not think so but I wanted to check. Everything is alright with him he has been tested before.
Answer
It seems that quality of sperm is more affected by heat than the quantity of sperm. And it also depends upon "how hot," "how long" and other confounding variables. For example, men who tend to use hot tubs or saunas may also perform jobs or athletics which also affect the amount heat to which the testes are exposed. Certain jobs, such as those which expose workers to radiant heat, have been shown to cause subfertility. Excessive vibration, the use of "jockey" shorts instead of boxers and the use of hot tubs have all been proven and disproven as causes of low sperm counts.
It would make sense for men trying to conceive to stop any exposure to heat for prolonged periods of time if fertility is an issue. One older study I came across stated that:
"Semen specimens obtained in New Orleans during the summer had significantly lower sperm concentration, total sperm per ejaculate, percent motile sperm and motile sperm concentration than samples provided at other times of year. Substantial summer deterioration in semen quality was likely to occur only among men whose work places were probably not air-conditioned. These findings suggest that the deleterious effects of summer heat on spermatogenic cells or on epididymal spermatozoa may reduce male fertility and account, at least partially, for the deficit of spring births in warm climates throughout the world."
Sperm quickly recover from heat exposure, so counts should return to normal within a week of hot tub exposure
I hope this helps you out . Lot's of luck to you
