Local rules and climate

Owning a protection dog in Arizona

Phoenix sees 111 days a year at or above 100°F, and the state bite law is strict. Rules change: check the official source and your town or county.

  1. 1

    111 days over 100°F

    The National Weather Service counts an average of 111 days a year at or above 100°F in Phoenix, and 21 days at or above 110°F (1991 to 2020). Hot pavement can burn paws, so walks happen at dawn and after dark.

  2. 2

    Owners are liable for bites

    Arizona Revised Statutes 11-1025 makes a dog owner liable for a bite in a public place or on private property where the person is lawfully present, regardless of the dog's former viciousness.

  3. 3

    No license without a rabies shot

    Under A.R.S. 11-1010 a dog cannot be licensed in Arizona unless it is vaccinated against rabies. Your county handles the license.

Desert living

A protection dog for desert life

Arizona homes are built for the heat: shaded patios, pools, air conditioning and walls around the yard. A German Shepherd fits that life when it lives inside with the family and works in the cool hours.

Tell Rui about your home, your yard and your pool in the consultation, so he can match the dog to the way you live.
