We have a female Golden named Penny(she's an inside dog). Penny weighs 93 lbs and she turned 9 years old on June 1st. We had never cut her down, only brushed and combed her, but last summer she was getting so hot and just acted miserable. I shaved her down pretty good and she acted like a puppy again. I'm going to do it again this year for her. With the humidity in July and August she'll just feel so much better and she does grow it out pretty fast. I'll miss her pretty coat, but it will grow out again over the fall and winter. I just want her comfortable.
