I used thinning shears on his ear fringe today. :) He's almost got standard ears now - but with that ruff, he kind of reminds me of a vulture (a really CUTE one). :) We've been pleased with his haircut (especially what she did underneath to thin him out). Thankfully, I found a groomer who errs on the conservative side and is careful about keeping the cut looking blended.
Here are some other ideas for keeping a dog cool in the hot sun:

I recommend the Chillybuddy (TM) dog cooling vest on the basis of this summer's experience.
I'v used it on a couple of really rough trips. I do believe it helps in the hot sun above timberline, where there's no shade. It is important to keep it wet; carry it it a tough plastic bag, when it dries out, put it in the bag and add the dog's leftover drinking water.
I'm a backpacking gear freak. It takes something good to earn my recommendation.
The medium size is best with our 21 7 25 lb. Pems. Custom-made sizes are available -- Cardi ownners, you might consider this.
It can get a bit tatty after a lot of thick bushwhacking -- the mylar tends to pull out in loops -- but it does not unravel, and can a certain amount of abuse. It seems to carry well and does not impede the dog.
thanks for the update John:)
