[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a roomba and let it run every day! Brushing with a furminator brush and a Kong zoomgroom helps. I have a golden retriever that I loooovvve, but I don't love the shedding. She's our second retriever and we had 2 shepherds overlapping with the retrievers over the years. We're a dog house for sure.

Could you brush her outside and let your daughter brush with the zoomgroom rubber brush at the same time? I do this with my 4 yr old grandson. He stops to hug and kiss her, etc. My daughter used to help when she was little. Giving a few liver treats helps with the bonding.

I'm sad for your situation. I didn't think I was a dog person and hated our first dog's puppy stage when my husband decided we needed a dog years ago. I slowly bonded and they're my best companions. My daughter became a vet tech and has her own shepherd. Maybe you could try to make it fun for your daughter?

Or, maybe you can find someone that would love your dog into her retirement years. My friend just took in an 8 year old retriever when she heard it was going to be euthanized because the owners were "done" with her.

Great advice, relevant to the OP's initial gripe. Good luck OP. Don't feel guilt about rehoming a pup in retirement. There are many that would not mind the dust balls. People have to rehome dogs all the time, allergies, children, etc. Don't feel bad. What type of breed?[/quote]
