I have no dog in this fight. From what I can tell, these dogs are show dogs, so they live for that alone. They are used to being groomed constantly.
I can't see what the difference is between these show dogs, frisbee/acrobatic dogs, huskies in the Iditarod, or police dogs,et al.
My dog lurrrvves to get a warm bubble bath and then be towel-dried and groomed. Total dog bliss. She’s like “This is the life, this is what I deserve, cause I’m special.” That said, I don’t dye her.
That’s really profoundly disturbing.
