My miniature schnauzer sometimes overheats a little bit in it. This can be remedied by taking breaks from the pack, using something like the Ruffwear Climate Changer, or simply not using the pack on very hot days.

I have one and it works great for my Bernese Mtn Dog - i.e. a lot of fur! The top breathes reasonably well. The panniers not so much. My best advice is to closelt monitor you dog. If your dog seems hot, take it off and give him a break or slow way down.
