A shot I took at the show last weekend. This is where alot of the dog owners set up their stuff to groom their dogs. Some breeds require 3 or 4 hours or more to prepare for the ring! Their maintenance between shows is pretty rigorous as well. So I thought of endless grooming! Glad I only watch and don't participate!
How many groomers/dogs participated? For sure it was fun to watch. Golden Woofs
ReplyDeleteThis was a very large show and had 2100 or so dog entries on Saturday as well as Sunday
DeleteWorking at a groomers, I can totally appreciate the time that's put into the dogs!
ReplyDeleteSome of the dogs are quite extensive. Even when they aren't prepping for a show, things have to be just right. I'll bet you've seen many of those.
DeleteThat's a lot of grooming!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. With the Aussies, I believe the groom time is a couple of hours per dog. Being pets, it's mostly just brushing.
DeleteThat's a cool photo! It's really interesting to watch show groomers groom. It's so different than pet grooms!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty different because they all are trying to present their dogs in the best possible light and as the judges want to see them. There are alot of illusions created.
DeleteGah, I remember when I showed A Chinese Crested. The grooming was awful. I'm so glad I have a wash and wear breed now!
ReplyDeleteI love going to shows and just watching people groom. It's fascinating what you can create (and hide!) with a skilled hand.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure.
DeleteI would avoid that room at all costs!
ReplyDeleteAs a dog, I'd hate it too! As a person, I think it sure looks like alot of work.
DeleteHoly groomers! hahaha!
