We used to have a Collie/Chesapeake Retriever mix that had long, black fur. She was always hot (panting) when we went to the cottage (no a/c). She did not like the water (lake) but sometimes she would walk in up to her belly and drink (even bigger water bowl).
Now I know why she did that (cool her feet). Thanks for the info!
