MrsD Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 What the hell?!?!?!? Dog grooming competitions A lot of people will have dressed up as a character from a Disney or Star Wars film at some point in their lives but not many will have dressed their dog as one.These astonishing pets were all contestants at different 'creative dog grooming' contests across America, where winners can scoop over $30,000 in prize money for a single event. The images were taken by animal photographer Ren Netherland, from Florida, who travels thousands of miles every year to the country's most extreme grooming competitions.

GeorgieB Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think they look great! To be honest these poodles are probably used to the amount of grooming that goes into these anyway, so don't have an issue with it! I'd rather see a poodle that's been groomed to look like yoda than one that hasn't been brushed for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfthewords Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I can barely clip a sport cut on my Bichon Frise, so I really commend these groomers (and their dogs) for their patience. I think it's a real show of skill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascalmyshadow Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think they look stupid and I feel sorry for the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgieB Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Why do you feel sorry for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frufru Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 These are competition dogs - they enjoy the attention - much like show dogs. This is not something done in a salon for everyday pets. I can definitely admire the skills taken to achieve this even though I don't particularly find this example attractive LOL. At least hair dye and weird scissoring washes and grows out.

JackC Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Not my thing but I can respect the time taken to do it and the creativity, I'm sure the dogs love the attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I know someone that tried to dye their dog to look like the tardis but it kinda just looked like a messy blue furry lump with a red bowtie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeGee Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 It's not my thing, but I can't help think how talented the person must be to create those images on the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
