My dog is a Bichon Frise and I live in Texas where the summer heat is BRUTAL. When I was reading up on this breed I learned that they overheat easily. I make sure he has lots of water and when he starts panting quickly, I bring him inside to cool off.

This is exactly how I manage my dog during the hot summer. It gets awfully hot in Texas. I hardly leave my dog outside during the hot sun unless it's in the early morning or evening time we go for a walk. 

We go for early morning walk and not that hot sun routine. I will be at work during that period while my dog stays at home and wait for me. Our walking routine is either early morning or evening when everywhere is cool.
