What size dog fares better in the heat?

Hi,
Well, summer has finally arrived to the Pacific Northwest.  The last
couple 
of days have been hot, hot, hot.  The fact that I keep cooking meals in
the 
oven doesn't help.  I used my infrared thermometer in the living room here

and at 8:30PM it's still almost 87 degrees F. in here.  My question is
when 
do I become worried about Kiba's activity level in this heat?  I realize 
that a lot of you deal with much higher temps. but for us on this tiny 
island, heat is rare.  What should I watch for, other than the common
sense 
things, like making sure he has lots of fresh water, don't play outdoors
in 
the day etc...  He seems to be panting a lot today, so that's why I'm 
asking.  I thought a smaller dog should do better in the heat ( I don't
know 
why), but Kiba seems to be affected quite a bit today, at least in the 
panting category.  Thanks.
