This is so wrong!

At a time when there is so much anti dog news in the media many of us are fighting to show that pedigree dogs are healthy and not the mutants they are perceived to be by ex RSPCA vets and BBC television producers.
We are trying to educate the public that dogs are not bred to be carried in handbags or used as toys and fashion accessories.

So what was happening only streets away from where I lived this past weekend? No other that a group of silly people trimming and spraying dogs a multitude of colours to compete for British Dog Creative Stylist of the Year. The dogs, mainly poodles stood for hours on grooming tables while they were teased into designs such a My Little Pony, Bertie Bassett and a Welsh Dragon.

What impression does this give the anti dog brigade? Surely it is bordering on cruelty? I don't think the poor dogs were taken outside for exercise all day as they were most certainly not noticed on nearby parkland or recreation areas by myself or other dog walking friends.

It seems this is an American past time - it had to be didn't it! No sensible Brit would be so cruel, would they?

The event organised by a Gravesend dog groomer was won by a a dog that was trimmed, tweaked, sprayed, styled and adorned to look like a Welsh Dragon. Lets hope he got the chance to breathe flames over the organiser of such a cruel and silly event. Dog groomers should stick to bathing and blow drying dogs and leave the food colouring for baking cakes.
