LOL............... oh geez. As dog enthusiasts, I understand. The horror is trying to get the dog hair out of the carpet in the back seat of the Superduty. Nothing works. You literally end up picking the hairs out one by one. I did learn to appreciate my Catch-All mats (in factory Ford carpet color), as they clean up very easily.

There is a product that is available that is basically for all intents, and purposes a electrostatic rubber comb that works excellent. Luckily my Husky days are behind me an my current floor sweeper dog has far less hair to disperse inside the car.

I know what you mean. I bought a set of weathertech floor mats for my rig and it turned out to be a good move. http://www.weathertech.com/LOL............... oh geez. As dog enthusiasts, I understand.

We've done the sticky roller brushes(turns out the sticky side of duck tape works better) and there are idiots that claim the "rubber comb" works ( I think those are the same people that use spray on hair).

For us, it really isn't the Rott hair that is the issue. It is my Mothers Aussie/Springer Spaniel mix that is. Oh my that dog sheds.
The hair rollers are useless. The vacuum is useless. We end up with a lot of hair back there, because we have to have the dogs in the cab with us. Whenever we are going camping, Monsoon storms pop up out of nowhere. We are not going to leave them in the bed in the rain. Plus, my Moms dog is her baby, and she would be a wreck with her back there. Even when going to our fishing spot, we won't put them in the bed. They would step on the fishing poles. LOL
They need to make Catch-all Under Seat Carpet mats. LOL
Germeezy, you can put in a link like hunchman did.

What I would give to have a Rottweiler's shedding issues again.
My dad used to complain when he'd find our old Rottweiler's hair...

Meet your worst nightmare, dad.
I brush him daily. We vacuum several times a week. Somehow, we still find clumps of Akita hair everywhere.
Seriously, I've stopped wearing black. Kid you not.

But Phil there's no room back there. It is already full of road kill (for Miss Kay's special stew) and empty beer cans.

You can tell who are dog people, and who are not.
Good looking dog, I have no doubt he is well worth the frustration....and it makes for a good story or two down the road anyway.
If I ran that idea by my wife we better be discussing a billy goat, because she might suggest putting me back there instead were I talking about one of her 'babies'.
Luckily for me and her, we're both on the same page on this.

Thanks for the link G.
Our dogs can't go anywhere in the back of the SD. Daddy in drivers seat, son in middle, me in passenger seat, and Grandma on the small side rear seat. The dogs get the large side of the back seat (folded up, of course, with comforters on top of the fold out metal "flooring"). You want a funny picture............... the few times we tried to have the Rott in the bed, the big storms would be looming just ahead. We would have to stop, bring the 130lb Rott (our last one) in through the sliding rear window, since we had so much stuff in the bed (held back by a load lock). I can imagine the picture with the Rott half in and half out (Rott butt hanging out sliding window).
Too bad I never got pics of it. We were always in too big of a hurry to get him in before it dumped.

I love my dog more that I love any of my cars. A car is just an object, a dog is a real friend. If I have to chose between the two, the dog will always win. And if anybody objects to my dog riding in my car, he or she can walk or ride a bus.
