I've never understood the appeal of that kind of grooming. I get that it is not harmful to the or anything, and I have nothing against people who do it.
I've seen Sandra Hartness' work before. Hers is half of the pics. In her case, it's good business. Having her dogs be unique gets them attention, and awards when she does big shows help get her clientele. Most people if they were going to go for something unique would maybe dye, but not go to that level of effort unless it's a grooming competition.
More of her work/ some of the same pics off her site Creative Grooming
Not something I'd do..........but I can appreciate all the work that goes into that! Wow.........that camel had to be "grown" and dyed over a period of NINE MONTHS
Cindy does make a lovely camel doesn't she? Wonder if she spits? :rofl1:
And the Ninja Turtle at the bottom of Mafia's link? OMG...........HILARIOUS!! hahahahahaha
You know, those are some awesome pictures...but my favorite of all for the poodles are the "bell bottoms" if I had a poodle, they'd sport some bell bottoms for sure.
I just hope the people who do this have dogs that love the groomer... many animals are stressed enough at the groomer... just doing a regular grooming take close to 2 hours on each of mine... I cant imagine making them sit for half a day or more just so they looked cute or extreme.
Camp, I'd want bellbottoms on my poodle too if I had one! I've always loved standard poodles, and would love to own a large black standard one day. I can only imagine the cuts I'd do to that dog.
