But yes, this picture is great to see why sometimes we do have to really iron out the dog before showing!
You're right Donna one of the reasons we iron is to get out any crimping, or waves left from wrapping.

But, I think non-exhibitors are sometimes under the misconception that the main purpose we iron to straighten the coat. Not so, it's to lock in shine and fuse the coat together so it flows when then gait.
