Extreme Poodles

Oh don't get me wrong, I looove creative grooming, as long as you're using products that aren't harmful. I dyed my ferret pink, remember? :rofl1:
This just... judging by the preview, seems like the owners are mad. Absolutely mad. They even showed one woman saying "some of things we do I'm SURE should be illegal..." or something like that. I hope she's joking.
That's why I compared it to Toddlers and Tiaras. Seems more focused on showing how nutso the "parents" are then whether or not the "kids" actually win the pageant. (the poodles are in competitions in this show).
EDIT: Have some pics. It airs tomorrow night.

I'll tune in. It should be interesting.
I, too, like creative grooming, and I don't think a long grooming session (standing for hours) is inherently cruel. Many of these dogs ENJOY the grooming process, and it can be a bonding time between a dog and their owner. Though it does depending heavily on the techniques/products used.
Oh, well, I'll dye my brats again, I'm sure. Maybe I'll get some ideas....

I think for most dogs it is probably not an issue. Grooming is attention and they probably get more than a lot of dogs out there
Now if they tried to even brush my corgi she would let them know its not gona happen Have had the dog over ten years now and brushing her can be a huge ordeal. There are other dogs and cats to chase and biting the brush is a constant.

Some of that is bizarre, but really cool.
Honestly I think if they do it in parts it's not that bad. A lot of dogs really like being groomed. My guess is they probably do something like dye the dog one day, cut their hair the next, etc. and don't make the dog stand and have that done for 15 hours straight (which is I'm sure how long it takes...if it's even possible to do in one day).
