Why do people who own Poodles make them look... ridiculous? what is with poodles and grooming? Is it an art form?
Theyre the cheesiest looking dogs ever. Frankly I'd be embarrassed to walk down the street with a Poodle looking like he's on his way to a hot date. Dont get me wrong, I dont hate 'em or anything, I just wouldnt want one [Edited 9/8/06 9:03am] | |

why do people make 'em look like walking topiaries, anyway? I thought they were originally used for hunting in Europe a couple of hundred years ago, and they kept those padded places on them to keep them warm. But I have no idea why they shaved them in the first place. Because that's what the aristocrats did with their dogs?

i don't know how it's even legal to cut off tails and snip ears It shouldn't be. That site has a gallery of dogs who got to keep their tails, despite members of their respective breeds typically being docked. . . really cool. . . http://www.vets.org.nz/Ne...allery.htm oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

and how about spaying and neutering? i mean, doesn't that destroy the trust relationship? doesn't the dog awaken and say "hey! i USED to have testicles. then you brought me here, i went to sleep and.... say what? they're GONE??!!!! some friend YOU are, human!" | |

again, the pets have to undergo surgery to fix (pun intended) what humans have let get out of hand - the terribly overpopulation and subsequent mass-euthanasia of unwanted animals. | |
