Sophie and Murphy got new hair dos today. This look is called the lion cut. It is not our favorite but it is the "standard" cut for a wavy Portuguese Water Dog competing in dog shows. This is the cut that will make Murphy a champion. As silly as it looks I am excited to see that underneath all that hair Murphy is still a rich dark brown. I love that color! Our breeder was kind enough to cut the dogs for free and teach us how to do it ourselves.
Along with the hair cuts, we got a glimpse into the world of dog shows. Best of Show is not that far off from reality! Our breeder was very impressed with how good of shape Sophie was in. She suggested we show Sophie in the "veteran" class. Maybe we will have two champions in the family. Looks like the lion cut will be with us for awhile.

Poor things- their butts are hanging out and all exposed!!! How weird. Why do they do this for showing? So they can see the muscles in their legs when they walk or something? ODD!
this really made me laugh outloud...your dogs look ridiculous. Someone at the shows needed a good chuckle to mandate this.
