What's a large dog with short hair?

Question

My grandmother wants to get another large dog, but she would like one with short hair. I was wondering if anyone could give me some breeds to look in to. She wants a female so please keep that in mind, I need some breeds that are a min 60 lbs, short hair, any dog that would do good in a hot environment. We live in vegas, and the dogs are always allowed inside but still I would like a dog with short hair. Thanks for the help, sorry for the rant.

Maybe a boxer? I had a female for 12 years, and she was sooo sweet and playful. Very short hair, and she was about 60 pounds for most of her life.

How about adopting a rescue greyhound?

Other larger dogs with short hair include Vizsla and Weimaraner.  Both are higher energy.

I would suggest you go to the AKC breeder site and you can look at all the breeds and it will tell you what you need to know about them. They also show you pictures and they have all the breeds in different categories.

Pit Bulls are wonderful short haired dogs if raised properly. Labs are also good dogs but get BIG sometimes.
