Luckily, he doesn't know how crazy he looks. 😁

Being a cat person, I reckon that dog looks hideous.

Somebody gets the regular job of shaving the beast around the nether regions. Lucky them !

That's animal abuse, surely?

I recall the president of the German Shepherd Club walking past Thunder and I during one of our visits, and in a shrill voice asked the dogs age. When I told her, she looked me right in the eye and said the dog was beyond saving and I should 'get rid of him' because without his ears up he wasn't a real Shepherd. 

Some people are nut bags. A few weeks later up came on ear then a week later the other. 3 months later I was at an event and she walked boy and commented (seemingly having not recognised either of us) what an incredible looking dog he was, and why wasn't I showing him?

"Because then I'd have to talk to you."

Shaving everyday is such a curse!!!!

Especially if it is your pubic area!

I hate poodles (and all small dogs).
Making it look ridiculous is probably an improvment over a standard poodle!!

Looks like Grace Jones 

Poodles are one of the smartest dogs on the planet.As a kid I developed a dislike of them (especially the small ones) because of an owner who let them do whatever they wanted and they were very badly behaved. But since then I have met some very nice ones.same for small dogs in general.

 I read once that the poodle cut was originally for hunting, a combination of keeping them warm where essential and shaved to keep the brambles etc out of the coat. But yes, the idiocy of breeding dogs for looks instead of health has a lot to answer for.

Yeah poodles are smart dogs and they don't shed a lot of fur like some breeds. They've been down-bred in the miniature varieties and cross bred to make pricey hip pets for the fashion conscious which has given the whole breed a bit of a bad name for being yippy and precious.

Funnily enough, all the dogs I have had loved a trip to the dog hairdresser and came out sort of prancing.  The pranciest was a big tough hunting dog.  But I was only ever getting them practical haircuts.  Nothing like the depicted haircut.

It looks like Grace Jones
