LOL, I have a blonde, golden retriever, and reddish yellow lab and a brindle bulldog. Plus 4 cats, all black and gray. I think the short haired pets shed more than the long haired ones do, lol! I do vacumn and sweep alot, never put on my work clothes, til I am almost leeaving, and cover all my furniture up with quilts and sheets, and wash them often. Lint rollars are a must at our house, too....
