Lori Craig is honestly a very good friend of mine. Falcor is a Therapy dog and she had another one just pass. Her dogs are all tested and her female just happened to be in heat and it just happened to be the weekend when she was competing in Pasadena. When a groomer decided to enter a grooming show, it its months in advance when you send in your money and start working on growing coat. So this breeding was planned on for about a year anyway. She couldn't NOT enter the contest and when she entered, none of the people had any idea it was going to be televised until a month ahead.
So whether Falcor is a daddy this year or next year, its gonna happen. And poor lori, she is so honest and sweet, she just said that and now is getting nasty e-mails etc about that comment. I think she thought it was cute, but apparently it angered some people. I know her and as soon as I heard it, I thought Uh-Oh :doh: She's gonna pay for that! I bet she can get the name of the person with the black poodle with the green head. It WAS cute.
Purley, a few years ago, pastels were the only thing a groomer could get by coloring. The science has come such a long way in developing vibrant rich colors....it what catches the eyes of the judges....when I see a competition dog in pastels, I almost KNOW its not going to get 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Also it takes a BOLD groomer to do this type of work....its not for the shy groomer because it always attracts attention...so usually its a very hesitant groomer who chooses a powder puff pink or pale sky blue....they don't want to make too much commotion or waves over coloring a dog. Then there are girls like doggystyles on here who dyes her dogs really shockingly vivid colors and wins all kinds of prizes
