Man even with my 1 dog when she's shedding there's no way to win

I've given up, the fur has taken over. I eat fur now. I am the fur

We have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever.

Less than 6 hours after a full sweep/vacuum/mop, we have brown tumbleweeds all over the house.  His hair is curly so it not only corkscrews into fabrics, but also tangles with itself to become rolling hairballs.

I had voluminous, curly hair once upon a time. I was always pulling hairballs out of everything. I shave my head every few days now. I don't have those problems anymore. Food for thought.

Shaving a shedding breed dog (like a husky or retriever or shepherd, etc) does not stop the shedding - the hair that sheds is just shorter. Plus you damage the dog's coat - possibly irreparably. It's not like human hair in the slightest.

😂 I'd have to shave my dog daily if that were possible! His fur is so thick that I can only get down to a 1/2" blade. And looks ridiculous at that short of a length.
