Visiting the grooming areas at the dog show is like being in a giant beauty salon!  Shampooing, trimming, combing, spraying…..!   If only I could be so pampered!  🙂  The dogs are all being groomed to perfection before going into the show ring.  I have several images from last weekend’s show that have a “salon” theme and so I will post them over the next few days.  In this image you’ll see a pampered pooch relaxing under the warmth of a blow dryer.  It was fun to watch a few “makeovers” as the day progressed.  I saw one dog – a bearded collie – just as his grooming began and then again later.  What a difference!  His fur was so silky and smooth after being groomed!  It takes a lot of hard work and attention to detail to groom a dog properly and as a spectator I always appreciate and admire the work done by the breeder/owner/handler.
