I have a Malamute and I understand how much hair there can be. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you brush your dog at least once a day to get rid of the hair. Lucas, my Mal., sheds really bad about twice a year. When those times come I just brush him about twice a day. You can see the hair coming out in little clumps.
As far as brushes I prefer the rack types. I got mine from petco, but you should be able to find some at most pet store. You also might want to brush in little strokes. That seems to make it less uncomfortable than the long strokes.
Other than that I would vacuum alot and brush her outside or the hair will go everywhere. Good luck with your new doggie and I hope everything goes well. I saw her picture on your profile and she looks gorgeous.
