I've got a Border Collie, and as breeds go, the usual double coat serves them well for keeping them cool in the sun as well as warm in the winter cold, but there are limits and providing shade from the hottest sun is advisable.
Mine is happy just on a tether lying on the grass in the shade of the caravan, but a friend with 4 Collies uses pop up Dog Sun Shades (she got hers from Lidl or Aldi for only a few pounds - one for each dog), similar to a typical open sided beach shelter, they are UV protecting so reduce sunburn risk (dogs do get sunburnt on noses particularly!) as well as provide shade from the heat. If your dog suffers from the heat, then a Coolmat in base of shelter should help.
Closest stle of shelter I could find on a quick Google was this: https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1428744-10294381?url=http://www.argos.co.uk/product/8018197?istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3........
Coolmat something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Simply-Natural-Pet-Cooling-Mat/dp/B07DSP13Z6/ref=asc_df_B........
Plenty of suitable shelters available, look at baby sun shelters too. Coolmats are available from many good pet suppliers.
Always have a bowl of water available to the dog, they lose heat by panting and easily become dehydrated, then they overheat!
