I can't imagine they would be too happy with wearing the costumes and having their hair done... Also its quite wanky that there has to be a 'perfect' look with a dog, they are all beautiful and I really don't think much of these pretentious "beauty" dog shows... but... saying that, I also don't agree that all dogs are necessarily unhappy with being part of dog shows in general. Think about it, they have to have a certain level of obedience training to even make it into these things, and dogs love to learn and to please the 'leader of the pack'! I know with all obedience dog shows I've seen, the dog has always been excited and happy to perform. On top of that, they get to see a lot of other dogs, sniff their butts offstage and run around stage with their owner. In fact I've seen clips of this dog show before and a lot of them were wagging their tails with their tongues out. So... apart from being quite pretentious.. it's not all THAT bad!

Its the same as putting a child in a beauty pagent except now the dog owners can get more for their puppies. I think they should all be ashamed of themselves a TRUE dog lover doesnt would never put their dogs through this. I dont need a judge to tell me how beautiful my dogs are I already know.

I can see in their eyes, a big question, most an existential one, "why the f... am I here ?" and I can feel their masters, thinking "I dream to the day we'll be allowed to make them compete in bikinis" Anyone dares to say they're somehow happy ?
