Our Border Collie/Lab turns 15 this year.
She has the LONG overcoat with THICK DENSE undercoat.
We 'TRIM' her short every year since a puppy.....after the first time that I 'shaved' her and she got sunburn.

He has a couple of sweatshirts to keep him warm when it gets cool.
When he is first shaved and we are out in the sun I spray his back with a Coppertone sunblock, then he gets a bath when we get home.
