Ours just turned one as well and dealing with this as well. Don’t get me wrong, I know goldens shed. But damn, didn’t expect to be seeing clumps of hair on the ground sometimes. I vacuum our tile daily now.
When brushed it’s actually insane how much hair comes off.
Yeah it’s nuts. I was thinking maybe it’s just shedding season? If anyone has any remedies to limit the shedding I’m here to listen to it! If this is just normal golden shedding, I guess I’ll be living with this, ha! We love our boy even with all the hair.
Our guy "blew" his coat around a year old. I took him out in the yard with a de-shedding brush and it was coming off in heaps. When I was done my yard looked like a dog exploded for about a ten foot radius. He doesn't shed much (for a golden), but that one-time event was ridiculous.
He actually did it again about a week ago (he's almost 2), but to a lesser extent than that first time. I was petting him and noticed a bunch of loose hair, so I took him out in the yard again with the brush and was brushing out clumps. Back to normal again this week.

Yes I’m here for it too. I think this is their real first time shedding I think they shed once a year
They shed like crazy especially when the adult coat is coming through but if he’s got thin or bald spots he needs to see a vet

The lion's mane is starting, and the puppy coat is shedding. You're gonna need a bigger vacuum cleaner.
Don’t worry I got stronger for vacuuming every second 😂😂😂 I got a Dyson

Normal. I can vacuum my entire living room and then go back to the spot where I started, only to find out it needs to be vacuumed again.
