Thanks for the info about mother nature.  Before Shelly was spayed, she did
have a correct coat.  A bit softer than I'd prefer, but it was correct.  As
an FYI, Shelly is a spoiled, house dog and I did take extra precautions
against heat and sun after she was clipped, only walking her in the early
morning and later afternoon and evening.
