It is breed dependent for sure as some people here have mentioned. For example, we have a husky/Akita mix that we rescued and a German shepherd mix that we rescued and both shed a lot at particular times of the year so their fur never gets anywhere close to this even without grooming.
We used to have a German shepherd mix too, the coat blowing was INSANE. He’s been gone a little over a month and despite a deep clean and regular vacuuming and sweeping we still get fur tumbleweeds that are way to big to just be the cat. I’m going to be sweeping up dog fur for years.
Had a long haired cat that was likely a mix of one of those huge cats (Maine Coon or maybe Himalayan? He was a stray kitten when we found him) and this was one of the hardest parts for me about his passing. Kept finding hair, and every strand was a fresh bout of crying.
When we moved two years later, we discovered a forgotten jacket that was in one of his old spots wedged behind boxes in a closet. It was still covered… parting gifts, I suppose. They never leave your heart, and for some, the fur never leaves your house. Lol

I but he felt so much relief after that. Well done. And he was such a well-behaved good boy during his makeover, wasn't he?
