it lives in the basement where theres much cooler because there are tiles,it always have fresh cold water, it is groomed out of long wintery fur,when it's sunny it only goes in shady places to relieve itself and come back in few minutes,when i go for walks i usually do it at the time when the sun has set and it cooled down,in the night or before the sunrise. What else should I do?

we have ours professionally groomed with shedding blade to make sure all of the undercoat is removed. then we leave fans blowing for her and plenty of water. try to get him/her in the water too. either a river or lake, or buy a kiddie pool that is NOT inflatable.

I have a red and white malamute. I shave her. You are doing the right things, do you let her into the house with the airconditioning? If not, after a walk or for a couple of hours a day, you could bring her into the main part of the house and let her rest in the airconditioning.

Do not shave!! Husky's fur acts like an igloo cooler in summertime. Keep him brushed and clean to aviod mats and keep him at a healthy weight (slim)
You're doing everything right, Don't worry.

One more thing you could do in addition to the great job you are already doing is lay down a damp towel for him to lay on each day. My Samoyed lives outside, and he likes to dig into wet ground for the cooler dirt below. A damp towel on the floor of your basement would be similar to what my dog does on his own.

Get a kiddie pool. Maybe he'd like to get in it?
This is a tough one. My dad has a black lab, and she hates going outside in the summertime. She's basically an indoors dog, except when "nature calls". Good luck!

Check with someone familiar with the breed. I've always been told dogs should NEVER be shaved. the hair keeps the heat out too. I don't know, but check it out before you do it. and if you do it, careful it's not too short, dogs can sunburn

The only way I know of would be to shave the dog. I have a Australian Shepard-chow mix and that is what we do.

If he is not in direct sunlight you can have him almost shaved,groomed very closely.
You could also run a fan.

Brush him as often as possible and I use to have my long fur dog shaved and he loved it.

Take the water hose and wet him down in his armpits, tummy, and under his tail.
