I'm str8 but my best friend on the X country team wears short sprinter shorts with a split on the side and I'm always looking for excuses to touch his cute bubble butt lol. Don't know why most people think guys legs and butts are gross
Answer
I think it depends on the contents just as much as the shorts.
If a guy is hot, then he'll look better in short running shorts, but if he's not all that hot, then the improvement won't be as much.

Any sled dog owners successfully run trails in hot climates during summer (with coat cut very short/ shaved)?

I live in the metro-Atlanta area and it is hot for a lot of the year. Right now I run irregularly, but I want to run nearly every day and am training for a half marathon. I would love a dog that can run with me- but I have a fascination for sled dogs of all breeds (Samoyeds, Malamutes, Alaskan and Siberian Huskies, etc.). A lot of people dismiss sled dogs due to the heat in the south but what if the dog is shaved down during the warm months? I run trails that are compact dirt and very well shaded around the Chattahoochee river and I would love a sled dog as a companion. I have a German Shepherd/ Husky mix but she is my family dog so I share custody (not to mention she is out of shape due to a hip surgery last year). She gets cut short 2 times a year in the warm months. Are there any sled dog, trail running or distance running, people out there who live in a warm climate and successfully run with their dog? I know about other breeds that run well and have short hair- I've been researching- but I LOVE sled dogs, am willing to groom/ cut hair regularly, and still run in the winter. The dog would also only live inside. We don't believe in tying the dog in the backyard. Success stories please...
I would not SHAVE the dog per se... That is why I wrote shave/ CUT SHORT. I would cut the coat short enough to reduce bulk but not shave. I am aware that double coated dogs need their coats. As is my groomer, who cuts my German Shepherd/ Husky mix's coat. THANKS.
SWAMP COOLER JACKET SOUNDS GREAT
Answer
Look it's not advised to run the dogs in the midday sun, however early morning and late evenings when the temperature is cooler, most dogs can run and pull a sledge. I have always used a swamp cooler jacket on my two dogs as it reduces the dogs temperature in hot weather and stops the uv rays of the sun.
Now my two are Alaskan Malamutes and will run all day long, the only thing you need to make sure is that they are regally re hydrated as this can cause heat exhaustion and sunstroke.
As long as you don't take them out in the middle of a heat wave you should be alright to work them. Generally though the best time is during the winter months as they can then run all day and not have to worry about the climate interrupting your fun
& NEVER CUT OR SHAVE THEIR COATS, they have two layers for a reason, summer helps keep them cool & winter helps to insulate to keep them warm. Just use the jacket instead they will love you better for that!
