help me find a rug

I am looking for a rug for my living room. We had this one but because the pile is high the dog hairs have got so ingrained in i that no amount if vacuuming picks them all up and DD is at the age now where she will be crawling soon and is picking up every little thing - including any stray hairs- and putting it in her mouth! It also got a bit smelly (although I am probably a bit paranoid about this as smells really bother me) even though I used 1001 and febreezed it constantly.

So, to get to my point, I am now looking for a replacement. I would like one in a beige/mink, so it will still go in case we decide to redecorate (we have beige-coloured sofas). I want a flat or low pile so it is easy to vacuum up dog hairs and I would like one that is cleanable with 1001 or the like in case of spills.

Would appreciate any suggestions. I have trawled the internet and am not having much luck!

just had a quick look at b&q website. wouldn't have thought of them at all. quick question - what does berber feel like? is it soft or is it that kind of prickly material.
