[QUOTE=KazzyK810;3857783]Yes. They are beauty pagents for dogs and just like the human kind...there's alot of "beauty aids" used to enhance what they have. The difference is...people (other than lil kids...but that's a whole other convo...) chose it and dogs don't have a choice.
There's alot of controversy involving dog shows and breed standards. Crufts kicked dogs out this year for being unhealthy. Too many people breeding for rediculous looks and not breeding HEALTHY dogs.
I went to a dog show in Detroit a few weeks ago. A yorkie that won one show I watched, looked like a bug-eyed chihuahua. How that reflects the yorkie breed standard I have no clue. But certain "looks" seem to trend.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, I have seen so many dogs that look like this and they look HORRIBLE!!! They look as if they are 80 years old - and very frail. You're right - since when is this the standard? |
