I want to buy a dog here but I’m concerned that certain dogs have may respiratory problems here due to the heat. Additionally, the skin type or coat may also be problematic here due to the heat and humidity, particularly since most dogs live outside in a dog house. My previous dogs were a Lhasa Apso and a Bichon Frise so I like toy group type dogs. Which type of dog is best for the climate down here?

Jack Russel Terrier. They don’t have a very thick coat. Plus they are playful and love the outdoors. I had a Jack Russel when I lived in Florida, he seemed okay during hot summer months.
Well toy dogs are meant to be in the house, if you want to put a dog outside, you need an outside dog. There are plenty of dogs from South America and Africa who can take the heat. The 3 that come to mind immediately are the African Boerboel, the Dogo Argentino, and the Ridgeback…but these aren’t the cute little dogs you seem to be searching for. If you want a lap dog it needs to be inside…preferably on your lap…
I’d go with a chihuahua they are native to mexico which is part of the Carribean area.
I know there are plenty of dogs that are native to the south american area.
someone once mentioned pit bulls do good down there (but make sure you are experienced with them if not don’t get one)
I would go with a Chihuahua
I would go with the Chinese Crested.
Look it up, you will be surprised 
Haha, you might think that they’re ugly, but in my opinion, they are just so dang cute.
