My dog Tucker was a wire-haired mixed (mostly) terrier. He was very sweet, but ugly. Of course I never told him he got shafted in the looks department. Well, a friend took him to the groomer as a birthday present for me. The groomer made Tucker look slightly less awful. She said he was the best behaved dog she'd ever done, and he enjoyed it. She tied a kerchief around his neck to go home with. That dog pranced around the house for three days like a kid pretending to be royalty. Tucker knew he looked good after his beauty shop appointment.

positive point, some cuts allow dogs to no longer have their coat in front of their eyes

Dogs are sentient creatures, not sculptures, accessories or toys... I understand washing and trimming for hygiene, but the rest is OTT.

They're all so floofy!!

I take it is the fashion to make dogs look like stuffed animals, but even the scruffier of these would have been fine w/just a brush or 3. I cannot imagine how much each cut costs too! Oh well, to each their own.

The new look might last a day... if that. Nice for a photo op, but not going to last.

I think he is an artist and I'm surprised he isn't on a retainer to groom for dog shows. And the dogs look happy.

I love how the dogs have much better vision after the cut. Many of the dogs had overgrown facial hair, making it harder for them to see properly, the cut helps that. The aesthetic should come second to comfort for the dogs.

In my opinion they don't look cute, they look ridiculous.

These comments do not pass the vibe check.

I particularly like these results because the dogs get to see out of their eyes after the groming.

I'm more of a fat person myself, but I like the "after" transformations, especially the fluffy puppy bums.

OMGOURDZ people on this thread are so dramatic, these doggos are adorable for one thing, then the "dog looks depressed, sad, etc." comments... Talk about pushing your issues off on something else. Just one day subjectified to another country's/culture's beauty standards and the majority of the "Pandas" in this thread would have an identity crisis.

The use of the words “always” and “never” are used far too much and often too aggressive, negative and other “too” scenarios but I can 100% say that I would never, ever take my pet to this shop even if it were conveniently close by and free!!! This can rival with all the absurd fashion trends like binding feet, wearing 50 necklaces (tradition/culture is respected but doesn’t make it healthier but I do mean fashion-wise), have the life sucked out of you -type of closely strapped corsets and other possible health hazards and not always without stress for the animal in my opinion. Not as damaging as painting dogs and such into the weirdest things and other animals in ridiculous contents but still, wouldn’t surprise me if a dog could get a instinctual kind of identity crisis after having your normal hanging and/or normal sized ears styling into a frenzy, making your head inches wider (in some cases cats bite off 1 side of wiskers as a form of punishment for example)

Americans groom as well if not better than these examples.
