I use to do dog grooming in a past era,and have a vineyard and winery, but never thought of combining the two …
this is my favorite, but no where near the most outlandish
The dogs look strange, the folks are stranger…
you can see them all here-
I saw this a week or two ago in an email someone sent around. I can’t help but feel sorry for the poor dogs! I agree the Clydesdale is pretty cool, but some of those other ones 
Yuck.
Ditto!
Squared!
Those people are morons. 
Well, it’s silly, but not sillier than a lot of other weird creative things people do.
If it were less tolerable to the dogs than the regular grooming that they probably accept as a
normal part of their lives, then I’d find it more objectionable. I suppose, though, that they’re
accustomed to being show dogs and probably don’t mind.
I’m afraid I’m a bit of a vegetarian, hippy tree-hugger. I hate the way we change everything into what we want it to be, instead of just loving what it is.
With no personal offense intended to anyone here who breeds or shows animals, I heartily disapprove of it. I might sound off more when PROCT reopens. This isn’t the place for my whining, and it’s not my thread.
Irishers love to dress-up. Here’s one getting ready to take a bath is some clean water.
And here’s one with a fancy hair cut.
Not to worry B…I’m that too. I’m just trying to think from the dogs pov. But I’m sure, given that, they’d rather be dogs and roll in the mud and a dead animal or two.
Ah, wouldn’t we all? [Nods sagely]
Great answer…as I look out at the rain coming down, wanting to run around and play in the mud 
Although, I really could do without the dead animal or two…mud will do for me 
I will admit I did like the purple on that first poodle. But that was because I was contemplating how it would look if I put streaks of that color into my hair…not because I thought it looked good on the poor poodle 
The poodle’s body image is strong enough.
It does not obsess over its looks.
Love it!
I agree that the dogs look absurd- but the owners are certainly creative, and a bit tetched maybe?
I wouldn’t assume that these dogs have never given themselves a mud bath and eau de death fragrance treatment- I know mine do on a regular basis
So true. 
What you really need is about eight of those Clydesd’ogs and a scale Bud wagon for them to pull.
You can put a midget in it with a few Dalmatian puppies.
That would be cool.
I know a poodle who has lost all her hair in old age. And she looks much more bizarre than these dogs ever thought about. She even has liver spots.
But, like these dogs, I somehow doubt she really cares that she looks weird.
Years ago Sid, one of my skyes, got Cushing’s Disease and lost his hair. He got a tan his last summer! Believe me, he certainly didn’t care. Food, fighting and girls were his only concerns. In fact, when he didn’t join in a real dozy of a tussle between his mom and one of his sisters, that told me it was time..

I really don’t fancy dog shows or anything of the sort, but you have to admit that the Ninja Turtle was pretty funny.
