If keeping dogs - especially multiples - ditch any carpet you have or any plans you might of had of laying carpet. Even the cleanest most house trained dogs will utterly destroy any carpet in short order.
Easy to clean surfaces are your friend - hard wood floors, leather furniture, etc. Even when I paint these days I spend the extra to ensure I wind up with a surface I can easily wipe down.
One dog or one thousand, it doesn't make a difference. Big or little, Tall or small. I will say this about hardwoods, get the real deal. Toenails wear through laminate and you can't sand it down. With leather, same deal, you'll find real outlasts fake with dogs.
I've always been a Border man, so cleaning dog hair from EVERYWHERE no matter how much I groom (just like with the horses). Invest in a good, powerful, wet/dry shopvac. Not a cheap brand either. Get the better model and you'll be buying it less often. Toss that weak house vacuum and shopvac the house, you'll be happier.
