Creative grooming competition shows crazy dog designs
- Published
The creative grooming competition takes places every year in Hershey, Pennsylvania in the USA. Some of this year's designs were a bit scary - like this shark one!
This crafty canine has been made to look like it's half-tiger-half-elephant!
The pooches weren't just made to look like other animals - this pup was decorated with an exotic flower design.
Even a robot dog made an appearance in the images, captured by animal photographer Ren Netherland.
The extreme grooming ideas also included mythical creatures like dragons.
It takes two intense hours to create the doggy designs - like this Disney themed one. Note the tail!
The pampered pups have to get their hair grown out in preparation for the trim.
Penguins, hippos and lions make up this dashing dog's design. Apart from the glory, owners can scoop up to $5,000 (£3,200) in prize money.
Exotic birds was the theme for this colourful canine which was made to look like a flamingo AND a parrot.
Big Bird and Elmo made it into this design, which comes complete with a sidekick - Oscar the Grouch. Doesn't he look pleased with himself!
