A strong argument in favour of a two hour, €45 toilettage…
A scruffy mutt is once again the daughter of national champions - reminds me of Tommy Steele’s Ugly Duckling - << Moi une caniche femelle ? >> !!!

Forgive me, but I much prefer the scruffy mutt. 
But then we’ve had Airedales over many years and it is impossible to keep them looking anything other than scruffy, even though great granddaughters of champions.

Me too, sorry DrMark, but my ‘but then’ is I have never had champions or indeed any dog whose parents were known.
Also the current pair, a muscular black and tan Beauceron and a silky Setter would not suit such treatment either.

I’m sure we all love our doggoes no matter how they look. I’m just glad to have someone else trim the silky curtain of hair from in front of her eyes so she can at least see who she’s ignoring

Yes, Bobby with his €50 grooming (see photo about) just looked slightly less scruffy. But didn’t stink, which was my objective.
However, what I have realised in the weeks since is that groomed feet don’t leave muddy footprints everywhere and can be dried off in seconds. Who knew.

I can understand your preference for the scruffy mutt, but the close-cut body and paws, makes her look much less of an unloved street urchin. The legs and tail are left long and the style is known as le Pantalon

Whether it’s the before or after - Gigi is absolutely beautiful. Just look at those eyes! Please give her a hug and a kiss from Auntie Rachel

Thanks! Will pass that on…
And from me too, it is not a question of loving a look, but loving a dog.
Oh, btw my name is not Rachel.

This is Gipsy. Apparently, he is a Griffon Terrier but he identifies as a Rottweiler. He came to us when his owner, a friend of ours, died and the only alternative was to return him to the dog home whence he came.

I’d post more, but the stupid iphone insidts on cutting out the backdrop every time.
This isn’t my dog, just a visitor who lets himself in and cleans the kitchen floor, the cat’s bowl, checks for crumbs anywhere… He likes to make sure I have a bit of company.

Well done lining the three up and getting them to stay still for the photo! Quite a feat at such an early age 
Ha Ha! Thanks, but a complete fluke I assure you! I just turned around and they they were!
