This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. At what point did we get so bored with our lives that we resort to painting our dogs and having them shown ?

This just isn't right - its terrible to do something like that to an animal. How would they like it if someone painted all over them for show. Just crazy.

To each their own, I guess. I have dogs that I need to get groomed, and they seem to enjoy being groomed; however, I personally would not go this far. But, if the animal enjoys the grooming and the attention that follows it, I see nothing wrong or cruel about it. A little eccentric, yes.. but if you and your pet enjoy it, then why not? I'm a huge animal lover, and have 5 dogs of my own, so I wouldn't feel this way if I honestly thought it was causing any harm to the animal.

I have a standard and would never do this. It is one of the stupidest things I have seen.

You obviously dont know the wonderful poodles,they know when they are groomed how pretty they are and will always strut their stuff saying in poodle talk "I`m Special"Been living with Standard Poodles 40 years,they love the attention.
