Just to add to the original post. Many breeds which originate in cold climates have double coats - a woolly undercoat and a harsher outer coat of guard hairs. These coats function as extremely efficient insulation against both heat and cold. Many people, imagining that they are thinking of the dog's best interests, will have their dog clipped or shaved during hot weather. This can be extremely dangerous, can increase the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and, in the case of shaving, put the dog at risk of extreme sunburn.
