Most of the year Carbon doesn't shed that much and he doesn't have a double coat either. When he does shed, the fur is easy to get off the duvet. I just give the duvet a shake every morning and give the fitted sheet a shake as well. That does the trick. If it's more serious, I've also got a squeegee-like thing that picks up fur like a magnet.Out of curiosity, how furry is it under the duvet?The top of ours is furry enough!!
But in general, it's not a big deal. There's a BIG difference between yellow Lab fur and black Lab fur!

Besitos, besitos, me gustan besitos!
I will share more photos from our long walk mañana. For now I must go cuddle under the warm covers because I am a very sleepy gentleman dog!
Buenas noches!

Amber and Toby sleep under the covers. Oh's covers. We have a six foot bed and since he likes to be warm and I like to be cool we have different covers. These two like to be warm. Poppy sleeps on their sofa and Alex sleeps without covers but near me. They, like me, like to be cold.
I dunno... Chewie left a PILE of fur on the sofa yesterday. And I am always fishing hair out of my mouth because his favourite sleeping place is on my pillow. We usually have a cuddle under the covers before he gets hot and moves to his own bed.

I don't mean the black Labs shed less, just that yellow Lab fur seems to have little fish hooks on the end of each piece : impossible to just brush off!
Ah. Yeah, Chewie's hair does brush off easily into easily binnable clumps!

Reubs doesnt shed half as much as Sam used to , and thankfully he has taken to sleeping on the sofa at night . However, if I get up to go to the toilet ( not if but when ! ) he sneaks into the bedroom and hogs all the duvet x

GGJ only ever puts her front paws up on the bed in the morning, to give me kisses. She does however break into the spare room when we have guests and lick their elbows!
Really?? I mean, yes I agree that the fur is impossible to remove. But I had no idea there was a difference between black and yellow. Fascinating. I wonder why?

No idea! Just seems to be a much different texture. I'm also mildly allergic to yellow Labs and nothing at all with blacks. It's no big deal, just itchy eyes and nose, but one reason I considered getting a choccy or black but not a yellow. There may be a difference amongst yellows too - the pale ones I've met (nearly white like @VanillaBean 's two) seem to have the slicker, less 'fish-hooky' fur too.
Snowie is very pale, white in parts, and his fur is IMPOSSIBLE to get off my car seats. And it doesn’t easily just brush off my clothes.
