When I hear someone say "I need to take my dog to the groomers. He needs his haircut.", I look at the dog and think to myself, "But why? He looks fine to me."
I find the idea of giving a haircut to a dog to be bizarre. I see a dog that has a close shaven body and a shaggy head to look like a rat or a wet cat.
Is there a reason, other than aesthetics, that certain breeds of dog get groomed?
I think they look cute in their natural, shaggy coats. I don't ever say anything, but once the owner gets the dog groomed, I look at the dog and think, "The poor creature. What did they do to you?"
So that's basically my question. Why do they do it? Is it just fashion?
Another thing, unrelated. I think doberman pincers are some of the prettiest dogs, and friendliest pets. I silently judge anyone who docks their tail or pins their ears. So cruel. Dobies are so adorable in their natural state.
