We have a GSD... so yeah.. there is hair. Hair here, hair there, hair everywhere. I joke and say that he only sheds once a year... but the duration is 365 days. I am saving up for a Dyson animal. Some friends of mine say it works great. I think some other vacuum makers have also come out with an “animal” type.
We have a horse brush. My FIL had it for years.. and believe it or not, it works better than any other type of brush I have found. For whatever reason, it seems to get to the undercoat as well. I’ve tried fur eliminator pills purchased online.. save your money. They don’t work. Hope this helps and remember.. having a big dog may come in very handy. Our Musket scared away some teens from the carport (in the middle of the night) a few months ago. I think the were going to try to break into a shed/or one of the cars. A 100 pound GSD can make quite an impression. Hugs, Mom
Our dog is little, considering her likely parentage, Shepherd and Lab and lots of people say it looks like there’s Rottie in her too - but she’s only 50 lbs. Barks big, though.
Anyway, I’m glad we started with a smaller dog, because I had to learn how to be Boss Mama Alpha Queen, but the next dog - oh I love Shepherds, the best dogs I’ve known. Saw the most beautiful well-trained blond Shepherd off-leash in the park, big, big dog - first time our dog ever realized she was not the biggest dog around - and a lovely black scary-looking one named Demon escorted me around a local nursery for five minutes before the owner came out.
A hundred pounds of auxiliary muscle and teeth at my side and in my home, at my service? Oh, yeah.
