It takes me an hour+ to vacuum my house so maybe once a week/once every two weeks? I have a hairy, shedding beast as well. 4x a day is insane. I would spend a third of my waking hours vacuuming!
Once a week. How do you have time for 4 times a day? Your entire house?
Our house isn't very big and I only have to do the first floor. The dog is not allowed upstairs because the thought of having to vacuum that too makes me crazy.
Once...in a while. We have an automatic vacuum that makes its rounds itself, but sometimes I want to get a deeper clean than the automatic vacuum seems to get.

When looking for a dog I looked for one that didn't shed much specifically because of how lazy I am about vacuuming. I now have an infant. I am lucky if I vacuum once in between the house cleaners coming every 3 weeks.
Yes, we have this. I could brush him with it all day long and he would still shed like a maniac. I have never in my life seen a dog with this much hair. I am tempted to shave him.
I'd take the dog to the groomers and get him/her shaved or at least VERY thoroughly brushed, so that the shedding is minimized. And I'd get used to having dog hair around. 4 times a day is insane.
I would love to get him shaved, but I don't think his breed gets groomed like that. He's a lab/shepherd mix. If I didn't have an infant and other small kids the hair wouldn't bother me as much, but seeing it all over them makes me twitch!
I can't even blame the dog. All she does is sleep in the same spot 22 hours a day. Sofia's such a mess maker and now that Theo's getting around and puts everything in his mouth, I feel like I need to be constantly vacuuming the house. I do it once first thing in the morning and once halfway though the day.
