A Pekingese? Pleeeaase!! by Domino and Dash, mini & toy poodles respectively

The Westminster Dog Show was on television recently. At first, we poodles were disappointed; our breed never made it to the final cut. But just like models and actors know their careers are subject to the whims of an ever changing fan base, we’ve learned that the popularity of a particular dog or breed is also determined by what is currently in fashion .

Now that we know the Pekingese won Best in Show, we feel much better. If that’s what the judges were looking for this year, poodles never had a chance. A Pekingese?  What is that?  We know it sounds like sour grapes but is there really anything under all of that Tina Turner hair? The face has a distinct marsupial quality too.  Our family argued that the winner must have perfect form (although who could see it?)  Don’t deny you too imagined how pathetic that little Peke body must  look during a shampoo.

It’s disappointing to know that poodles are not in style this year, and perhaps even seen as a throwback or a bit foolish. Apparently having curls these days is equated with laziness (with all that product available to relax mop mayhem).

So where does this leave us? Our style of hair was once very popular and even emulated by wig-wearing French nobility. Not surprisingly, poodles were among their favorite accessories (which is really too matchy-matchy for our tastes).  It seems we’ll just have to wait for our return to the spotlight.  Eventually fashion will turn around once again and people will find themselves longing to be surrounded by members of the court of Versailles.
