The outer-- or 'top' or 'guard' coat is the normal coat-- it is the softer,
fuzzier undercoat that is what insulates from the winter cold.  Just make sure
your animals have sufficient access to ventilation, fresh water and shade--
they were intended to be in triple digit heat. Don't coddle them, but do watch
for their well-being.
