Axel, very interesting...I had no idea why people cut poodle's hair like that. You learn something new every day!





(it's still ugly tho... )

It's not a topiary cut.

 

Best in Show was hysterical... I think I laughed nonstop that movie, and they truly do make light of just about every stupid idiosyncrasy of dog shows!

I had no idea there was function behind the seemingly ridiculous form of poodle grooming! I still think that given that they don't do that stuff anymore, they should give poodles back their dignity and quit shaving them topiary-style...

I think I mentioned it on another thread already... dog balls are gross! Make your male dog more aesthetically pleasing and save the neighbor's Chihuahua-in-heat the discomfort of your Great Dane's prowess: get that thing neutered! (yes, I'm aware that when showing, they have to be intact, but again, dog balls are gross!)

 

My dog only has one nut. Actually, he has two, but the other didn't "drop." This means we bought him cheaper, because the breeder couldn't sell him as show quality. Doesn't matter to me as he will have no nuts when I get him fixed.

And yes, grabbing a dogs jewels is about as nasty as picking up his poop with a plastic bag.

 

I agree on the hairdo thing, ours our not cut like that.

Sondra -
We neutered our 7 year old male standard poodle, so now he has an emptly ball sack! Talk about gross. Now my wife doesn't like the way he looks without them (It is pretty pathetic). Next time he gets knocked out for something, he is getting neuticles....

hey if a weirdo wants to feel up a dogs balls it's his perogative. you have a right to complain you he starts to touch yours

 

Axel, I got my male Boxer done at 4 1/2 months (when he humped for the first time... I was having none of that). His is empty now too, but I guess I got him done young enough that it's flat and almost nonexistent. You almost have to know what you're looking for (and believe me, I don't spend a lot of time looking!)

BTW, anyone who bathes a male dog and is sure about getting everything clean feels their dog up... eeeek! Reason enough to get that dog fixed!

 

ROTFL! This thread is cracking me up!

I learned the reason for the topiary poodle hair cut thing by watching a dog show last year, funny how that kind of thing just doesn't go away.

As for "Best in Show". I loved the guy with the hound dog Fred Willard was hillarious, too. I guess part of what was so funny about Fred Willard's part was how many things he said that you actually hear the announcers of dog shows saying.
