Can't see the pink poodle doing that, can you?
Let a dog be a dog.....
It is an accusation often made about show dogs, and I know many, especially in both of my breeds, that are working their socks off on a shoot etc one day and in the showring the next.
Why would you jump to the conclusion that this dog does not run through dead leaves and muck?
I do not assume that at all any more than I assume that film stars walk around all day in high heels, coiffed hair, painted faces and nails and never put a trackie on.

Would never dream of doing it myself, but if the dog doesn't mind it and the proper stuff is used, why not?

I do know of a GSD that did have a Lion/Poodle cut though.. to keep him cool in the summer - he looked stupid.

Wolves dont need grooming or clipping at all (neither do my dogs) so ANY grooming is something that mans intervention over time has caused to be needed for our dogs
Its ALL unatural

I wasn't saying that every dog that enters the show ring doesn't behave like a normal dog.....
But do you walk round the park in your wellies with a pink poodle SB?
Come on???????
