    NEVER!! A dog is not a doll to be dressed up or played around with in this way. I'm sure not one of those poor animals, given the choice, would want to look the way they do now.

    Those are atrocious. I agree dogs are not dolls to be dressed up neither are they canvases to be painted on. I don't even like the different show cut styles for Poodles. :eek:

    Pets should be respected, not "dolled up" so their owners have something to show off.
    However, I admit that our St. Bernard/Collie mix loved to have a bow stuck on top of his head at Christmastime. He'd follow you around with the bow in his mouth, looking pleadingly at you. Who could resist? He didn't seem to have a color preference--any bow would do!
