I can say that, I know you don't want to shave him but you might want to consider it. I shave Bear (aussie/pyranees??? mix) during the summer.
A dog with an undercoat (aussie, pyranese, shep., husky, etc) should not be saved, unless for medical reasons. The reason is the undercoat is an insulator, keeping the dog cooler in warm weather & warmer in cooler weather.
