I have a hypo allergenic type of doggie (7lbs). It has long hair if I let it grow but the only way it comes off is if we cut it. I do keep her away from quilt fabric, items and my studio. I keep my studio locked. She may come on the couch with me if I invite her and else she is in her cat bed. I do donation quilts. I would recommend keeping your dogs off of the quilts and fabric. When you are ready to donate lint roll the whole quilt very well and then wash and dry the quilt, then immediately put it in a clear plastic bag. I hate black trash bags because I know of too many horror stories of quilts being accidentally disposed of.
