What types of dogs are ideal for Californians?

I live in San Jose, CA, and, as you know, it's summer over here. I need a dog who can stand the heat. I want a Siberian Husky, but I know California isn't meant for dogs from the north. What I'm looking for is a big dog (not toy, and medium-sized could work), a sporting or working one. Any ideas on which dog ideal for a Californian like me?

1. Ok, first of all, being in California is absolutely irrelevant to dog breeds. Consider your lifestyle, how much time and dedication your going to put into the dog,etc.etc.
2. A Siberian would be fine in CA. Just always be sure to provide water and shade. Whatever dog would work best for YOUR lifestyle is the right dog for you. If you want a Siberian than you should get one. Just make sure to buy from a responsible breeder.
3. you should get a cocker spaniel or a Beagle even a basset hound will do. If you want a BIG dog I suggest a great dane or a Bull mastiff
