Yep. Had a GSD/Malamute mix, and a Jindo, at the same time.
The hair was.. uh.. omnipresent.
They passed years ago and I still find hair every once in a while inside some seldom-opened box or whatever. Which makes me sad, but then it's also funny, because "JFC you've been gone for years and I'm still cleaning up your hair!"
Robot vacuum for the win. House gets vacuumed twice every night, and we get the carpets professionally cleaned every summer, moving all the furniture onto our kitchen/dining room hard floors. Its work, but we can have our babies crawling on the floor in white sleepers and not be gross
We have 3 dogs. We clean and vacuum every week and vacuum an additional 3x a week. We STILL have enough fur floating around to make a 4th dog. Every winter and summer is coat renewal. Even vacuuming can't get a lot of the hair off of certain carpets (we have a few rugs).
Something that I realized a few years ago is that carpet is truly a luxury product. Just think about it. You decide to just put fucking fabric on the ground so that it's more comfortable to walk on.
I think too many people don't realize this. If you treat it as a luxury, you will clean it, replace it, keep your dog off it, etc. But obviously it's often not cared for well and that's where the complaints come in.
Hard wood is like a toyota. It's not cheap, but it's durable and easy to clean and cheap to repair. You can use a toyota for many many years. Carpet is like a sports car. It's more enjoyable to use but the mileage is a lot worse. You need to replace it earlier and you'll need expensive regular maintenance

If you take the time to vacuum and get one of those shampooers wouldn’t it be fine?
