dog hair (Labrador Retriever)

I purchased a Dustopper HD12.  But it is not at all effective then vacuuming dog hair.  The dog in question is a  Labrador Retriever, a breed havingl a "double coat".  The thin soft fur of the under coat is the problem.  Would a Thien baffle work better?

The concept of a separator is to allow the debris laden air to slow down enough to drop its load, and prevent it from picking the load back up before moving on to the filter. The problem with hair is it has a very low mass, and large surface area, kind of like a feather does, thus getting hair to drop out a moving airstream is VERY difficult.

From the photos, the dusttopper looks like it is a rip off of the Thien separator concept.  I don't see how it would be any better or worse than a home made Thien separator.
