Ok, I gotta ask. (I have 3 dogs).

How long since that carpet was last vacuumed?

if golden retriever or Labrador, two hours ago;
If any poodle mix, not since the Clinton years.

I thought I’d get a Lab and it would be a low maintenance coat sorta dawg.

This motherfucker sheds all goddamn year long. I brush him twice a week with a slicker and a furminator and take a wig’s worth of fur off of him each time. And still— STILL— I walk through my house and a random toupee will come tumbleweeding past.

Yup. They shed twice a year, 6 months at a time.

I have a lab.

I brushed her for an hour with a rake then a furminator.

Then gave her a bath where she was wet brushed.

Then blow dried and brushed again once fully dry.

Still had wads of fur and I vacuumed 3 x the next day after vacuuming earlier that week

I give up

It can be a dietary issue at that point. Some dogs are also just more prone to shedding.

cut the hair off. shedding stops when fur is trimmed

Yeah, mine gets brushed and I pull off enough fur the basically create 2 more labs, 10 minutes later there's already new hairs on my floor.

Love her to bits, but the shedding is ridiculous and the damn hairs get stuck everywhere :(

Grew up with Golden Retrievers and now have a Goldendoodle, I don’t think I can ever go back

Seriously, I grew up with dogs. You could go to any carpeted surface in the house, pinch your fingers on the surface and come up with dog hair, always.

That's not true though, you don't what fur you end up when you get a doodle. I know a guy who got a golden doodle (goodle?) which shedded more than either of the parents.

My brother's black lab who is a hypodog (Trained to sense my diabetic brother's blood sugar changes, and alert accordingly) has a mission on top of their work... To make sure that every carpet whether just cleaned or new has at least few kilos of their fur in it. Except if it is winter. Then they make sure that they have rolled over every single bit of fresh snow there is... like a canine equivalent of a snowcat on a ski slope.
